The E. D. Smith Income Fund, a trust that owns a variety of private-label food manufacturing operations, said it planned to sell all of its assets to TreeHouse Foods of the United States in a deal valued at about 217 million Canadian dollars ($203 million). TreeHouse, based in Westchester, Ill., would also assume E. D. Smithâs existing debt and the transaction costs. If the deal goes through, stakeholders should receive up to 9.15 Canadian dollars a unit, subject to a âholdbackâ of 60 Canadian cents a unit to cover certain expenses, the fund said, which could lower the amount received by unit holders. Units of E. D. Smith, which is based in Winona, Ontario, rose 1.23 Canadian dollars, or 17 percent, to 8.57 Canadian dollars on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Sears Holdings Corporation extended until Oct. 31 its $802 million offer to buy the 46 percent of Sears Canada it does not already own. The proposal may be further extended as the company seeks to appeal a regulatory ruling blocking its effort to buy the stake.

Sears also said it would ask the Ontario Court of Appeal to reconsider a decision by the Ontario Securities Commission that barred Sears Holdings from counting some shareholder votes toward the proposed purchase and effectively prevented the company from completing the acquisition.
