It is confirmed that Richemont SA agreed to merge its Net-a-Porter online fashion retail unit with Italian rival Yoox SpA.
Richemont will own 50 percent of the combined company, to be called Yoox Net-a-Porter Group, the Geneva-based owner of the Cartier and Chloe brands said in a statement Tuesday. It will be traded on the Italian stock exchange and Yoox’s founder, Federico Marchetti, will be chief executive officer.
Yoox Net-a-Porter plans a capital increase of as much as 200 million euros ($216 million) after the transaction to raise funds for expansion and gain new shareholders, said Richemont, which will participate.
Richemont said it expects a one-time gain of about 317 million euros from the transaction.
英国媒体报道，瑞士奢侈品巨头历峰集团 （Richemont ) 近日正式确认了其旗下奢侈品电商平台Net-a-Porter 将与意大利电商Yoox SpA合并。
历峰集团拥有包括卡地亚等众多奢侈品牌。集团周二盘前发表公告，称Net-a-Porter Group Ltd. 和Yoox SpA 将合并成为Yoox Net-a-Porter Group。新公司会继续在意大利证券交易所上市，并由Yoox SpA 创始人、主席兼首席执行官Federico Marchetti 担任首席执行官。
