MACY’S, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS RESPONDS TO UNSOLICITED NON-BINDING PROPOSAL FROM ARKHOUSE AND BRIGADE
Macy’s, Inc., confirmed on Saturday that it received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Arkhouse Management Co. LP and Brigade Capital Management, LP to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $21.00 per share in cash on December 1, 2023, and that the Macy’s, Inc. Board of Directors has determined that the non-binding proposal does not constitute a basis to enter into a non-disclosure agreement or provide any due diligence information to Arkhouse and Brigade.
In light of Board concerns, as well as the lack of compelling value in their non-binding proposal, the Board has determined not to enter into a non-disclosure agreement or provide any due diligence information to Arkhouse and Brigade.
“The Macy’s, Inc. Board of Directors and management team have a proven track record of evaluating a broad range of options to enhance shareholder value. Following careful consideration and efforts to gather additional information from Arkhouse and Brigade, the Board determined that Arkhouse and Brigade’s proposal is not actionable and that it fails to provide compelling value to Macy’s, Inc. shareholders,” said Jeff Gennette, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Macy’s, Inc. “We continue to be open to opportunities that are in the best interests of the Company and all of our shareholders.”
