Market Chatter: Oaktree Sues BJ's Over Alleged Tariff Refund Deal Backout

MT Newswires Live04-29

Oaktree Capital Management has sued BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings (BJ), alleging the company backed out of a deal to sell its rights to about $29 million in tariff refunds, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

Oaktree alleged BJ's agreed to sell the claims for roughly $20 million, but later walked away as the value of tariff refund claims rose. The firm described the move as "unlawful and bad-faith seller's remorse."

The dispute comes as refund claims have surged in value following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down several of President Donald Trump's former tariffs.

Oaktree said the agreement had been fully negotiated, with only final execution remaining, before BJ's invoked a Walk Away provision, the report said.

Oaktree and BJ's did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
