New York CNN —99 Cents Only Stores — a discount chain in California, Texas, Arizona and Nevada — is winding down its business operations, according to a press release from the company on Thursday. “This was an extremely difficult decision and is not the outcome we expected or hoped to achieve,” said Mike Simoncic, interim chief executive officer of 99 Cents, in the release. It will also work with the firm to get rid of fixtures, furnishings and equipment at its 371 stores. Simoncic will step down from his role, the company said, and Chris Wells will serve as chief restructuring officer. Bloomberg reported last week that 99 Cents was considering a bankruptcy filing.

Lawrence Faucette was dying from heart failure and ineligible for a traditional heart transplant when doctors at the University of Maryland School of Medicine offered the highly experimental surgery. In the first glimpse of Faucette provided since the Sept. 20 transplant, hospital video shows physical therapist Chris Wells urging him to push through a pedaling exercise to regain his strength. The Maryland team last year performed the world’s first transplant of a heart from a genetically altered pig into another dying man. David Bennett survived just two months before that heart failed, for reasons that aren’t completely clear although signs of a pig virus later were found inside the organ. In Friday’s hospital video, Faucette’s doctors said the pig heart has shown no sign of rejection.
