As previously disclosed, on August 10, 2023, Tapestry, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sunrise Merger Sub, Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares with BVI company number 2129509 incorporated under the laws of the territory of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Capri Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares with BVI company number 524407 incorporated under the laws of the territory of the British Virgin Islands (“Capri”), pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the Company has agreed to acquire Capri (the “Transaction”). 

 

On November 3, 2023, the Company and Capri each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (the “Second Request”) from the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in connection with the FTC’s review of the Transaction. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), until 30 days after the Company and Capri have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the Company and Capri or terminated sooner by the FTC. Both the Company and Capri expect to promptly respond to the Second Request and to continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review of the Transaction. The Company continues to expect that the Transaction will be completed in calendar year 2024, subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
