On March 30, 2010, three parties came forward with offers to buy the Star-Bulletin, but a month later on April 27, 2010, the bids were rejected because their bids for the Star-Bulletin was below the minimum liquidation price.
Both the Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin published their final editions as separate publications on June 6, 2010,[REF] and Black Press officially launched the Honolulu Star-Advertiser as a broadsheet morning daily on June 7, 2010.
