https://www.capriholdings.com/StrategyPresentation

Capri Holdings Limited (NYSE:CPRI), a global fashion luxury group, today announced the mutual termination of its definitive merger agreement with Tapestry, Inc. Capri and Tapestry mutually agreed that terminating the merger agreement was in the best interests of both companies as the required closing condition of receiving necessary U.S. regulatory approvals was unlikely to be met by the merger agreement’s outside date of February 10, 2025. The Company also announced its strategies to return to growth, which management will discuss on a call today at 11:00 a.m. ET. The Company will share more details of its strategies at an Investor Day in late February 2025.

John D. Idol, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “With the termination of the merger agreement, we are now focusing on the future of Capri and our three iconic luxury houses. Looking ahead, I remain confident in Capri’s long-term growth potential for numerous reasons. First, we have an incredible portfolio of luxury houses, each with their own rich heritage, exclusive DNA and strong consumer loyalty. Second, we have a solid distribution network to build upon. With over 1,200 directly operated luxury retail locations globally combined with our robust digital platform we have a strong framework for the future. Additionally, our extensive wholesale network serves as an important channel to reach consumers in areas where we do not have our own stores. Third, we have the management team, design talent and a global workforce of 15,000 employees to successfully execute our initiatives. Fourth, we have the financial strength to implement our strategies.”

Mr. Idol concluded, “Given our Company’s performance over the past 18 months, we have recently started to implement a number of strategic initiatives to return our luxury houses to growth. Across Versace, Jimmy Choo and Michael Kors, we are focused on brand desirability through exciting communication, compelling product and omni-channel consumer experience. While our strategies are tailored uniquely for each brand, our overarching goals are similar.”
