CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION: This is an online-only auction. The auction ends when the highest bid is placed, with no additional bidding on any property within 5 minutes of the last bid placed. Bid increments and bidding methodology are subject to change at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. This auction is selling subject to seller confirmation.
 
EXTENDED BIDDING: This auction uses an extended bidding feature. Any bid within the last five minutes of bidding starting on Thursday, October 26 at 4:00 PM ET causes an automatic 5 minute extension of the bidding. When 5 minutes passes with no more bidding on any property, bidding will close.
 
GROUPED EXTENSION: All of the assets in the auction are in the same extension group, which means that a bid placed on any of the assets extends the bidding on all of the assets for 5 minutes. When 5 minutes passes with no bidding on any asset, the auction closes. Bid increments and bidding methodology are subject to change at the sole discretion of the auctioneer.
