The Nordstrom family and Mexican retailer El Puerto de Liverpool have reached an agreement to take Nordstrom private in a $6.25 billion deal.
The family that founded Nordstrom and El Puerto de Liverpool are buying Nordstrom , paving the way for the retailer to return to operating as a privately held company. Nordstrom on Monday announced its agreement for the Nordstrom family and the Mexico-based company to buy out shares they don’t already own. The planned all-cash transaction, worth $6.25 billion, comes about 10 months after Nordstrom set up a special committee for weighing proposals from the Nordstrom family.
The Nordstrom family and El Puerto de Liverpool put forward a $23-per-share offer to take the company private in September. The Nordstrom family, including CEO Erik Nordstrom, CBO Pete Nordstrom and others, and El Puerto de Liverpool will pay $24.25 per share to acquire the retailer, Nordstrom said Monday. That price 'represents a premium of approximately 42% to the Company’s unaffected closing common stock price on March 18, 2024, the last trading day prior to media speculation regarding a potential transaction,' the retailer said. 'The special committee of the Nordstrom Board of Directors reviewed this proposal against the Company’s standalone prospects for growth. Following a rigorous and independent evaluation and consultation with outside financial and legal advisers, the special committee unanimously concluded that this transaction offers greater value for all public shareholders at a significant premium to the unaffected share price,' Nordstrom chairman Brad Tilden said. Nordstrom, the Nordstrom family and El Puerto de Liverpool anticipate the completion of the transaction will occur in the first six months of next year. It will require 'approval of holders of two-thirds of the Company’s common stock and the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company not owned by the Nordstrom Family or Liverpool or their respective affiliates and the Company’s directors and Section 16 officers' to go through, according to Nordstro
