RadioShack Corp.’s biggest shareholder, already seeking to buy hundreds of stores from the bankrupt electronics retailer, agreed to a separate sale of the chain’s name, with bids to start at $20 million.

Greg Gordon of Jones Day, a lawyer for RadioShack, announced the arrangement Wednesday in U.S. bankruptcy court as he outlined a series of last-minute changes to a proposal by Standard General LP, which holds 10 percent of the company’s stock, to buy as many as 2,000 stores.
