Lampert appears to be taking steps to allay such concerns and make sure Sears gets a fair price. The offer letter indicates he will not participate in sale talks on behalf of Sears, and provides that independent directors and "disinterested" shareholders must approve a deal. Not good enough, says Minow, noting that all Sears directors owe their positions to Lampert as controlling shareholder. She says Sears should hire outside financial experts to appraise Kenmore and the other assets, and offer them to the market at the appraised price before selling to Lampert.
