Equity firm Permira acquires Italian luxury sneaker brand Golden Goose
私募基金Permira收购意大利轻奢品牌Golden Goose

日前,私募基金Permira与美国投资公司Carlyle就收购意大利轻奢sneaker品牌Golden Goose达成协议,交易价格约为12.8亿欧元。
在此前的报道中,也有不少公司有兴趣收购Golden Goose,其中包括私募Advent、SPAC Acamar等。尽管如此,Permira仍具有较强的竞争力,主要是因为Valentino和Hugo Boss是其投资组合的一部分,旗下还拥有英国鞋履品牌Dr Martens。
Golden Goose由设计师Francesca Rinaldo和Alessandro Gallo于2000年创立。2013年,品牌被意大利私募股权基金DGPA接管,两年后转手中端市场投资公司Ergon Capital。
2017年,该品牌由Carlyle接管,并先后在纽约、东京、北京等地开设了旗舰店,从而推动了品牌在美国和亚洲的扩张。
此外,品牌还扩大了产品范围,增设了服装、配饰等,并以皮革制品为主。收益也从2014年的不到5,000万欧元增长到2018年的近2亿欧元,其中80%的收入来自意大利境外。
Private equity firm Permira has reached an agreement tobuy Italian luxury sneaker brand Golden Goose, a source familiar with thematter told Reuters on Wednesday
U.S. investment firm Carlyle, the current owner of theVenice-based shoemaker known for its €400 ($437) sneaker with a five-point staron the side, kicked off the sale process late last year. Sources have said Carlyle aimed for bids valuing the brand at no less than €1.2 billion.
Permira was vying with rival private equity firm Adventand U.S. SPAC Acamar, one source had said. It was seen as a strong contenderfor the asset given its expertise with luxury brands, including Valentino and Hugo Boss, which used to be part of its investment portfolio, several sources have said.
Permira also owns British work boots brand Dr Martens, which was set for an initial public offering. A spokesman for Permira was not immediately available for comment.
Golden Goose was founded in 2000 by designers Francesca Rinaldo and Alessandro Gallo. In 2013, it was taken over by Italian private equity fund DGPA which sold it to mid-market investment firm Ergon Capital two years later.
In 2017 the brand moved to Carlyle which drove itsexpansion in the United States and Asia with flagship stores in New York, Tokyo and Beijing.
Led by Chief Executive Silvio Campara, Golden Goose has also expanded its product range to include clothing and accessories, with a focus on leather goods. Group revenue rose from less than €50 million in 2014 to almost €200 million in 2018, 80% generated outside of Italy.
BVLGARI withdraws from Baselworld
宝格丽退出本届巴塞尔钟表展

近日,LVMH旗下奢侈珠宝品牌Bvlgari宣布退出本届巴塞尔国际钟表珠宝展。主要原因如下:
一是考虑到1月份的LVMH钟表周的成功举办,以及Bvlgari在此期间也推出了许多新品。二是受冠状病毒疫情影响,引起的全球范围内出行的不稳定性。同时品牌也声明,这并不代表将永远离开巴塞尔国际钟表珠宝展。
鉴于有关疫情和病毒根除时间的不确定性,品牌在未来几个月内一些安排不得不推迟或取消。Bvlgari上周向罗马的Spallanzani医院捐款,用于抗病毒药物的开发研究。
尽管非常遗憾,但Bvlgari表示,将在品牌最大的市场以路演的形式来代替,并向并未到场LVMH钟表周的客户、媒体来介绍关于新品的信息。品牌认为,目前最佳选择是在3月的时候直接进入市场。
After the very successful LVMH Watch Week in Dubai inJanuary, and with the growing traveling uncertainties related to currentCoronavirus pandemic evolution, Bvlgari Horlogerie has decided not to participateto Baselworld 2020.
Bvlgari has already met its key clients and media in Dubai at the Bvlgari Resort early January during the first LVMH Watch Week, introducing its most important 2020 novelties including the World Record Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, the Diva Finissima Minute Repeater Malachite, the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Gold and the sporty Octo Finissimo Automatic 100 meters Steel.
This has already led many events to be postponed orcancelled in the months to come given the still high uncertainty regarding the virus control process and gradual eradication. Bvlgari has announced last week an important donation to the Spallanzani Hospital in Roma, which isolated the virus DNA structure, in order to contribute to the acceleration of the antivirus remedies development.
In that context, and with only 2 and half months to come, Bvlgari has regretfully decided to cancel its participation to Baselworld 2020 and replace it by roadshows in its biggest markets to meet the clients and medias who were not present in Dubai. They will allow introducing further additional new products to the Dubai set of novelties, including a new ultra-thin World Record.
It does not mean that Bvlgari is definitely leaving Baselworld and decision for 2021 and beyond will be made by the end of June. Assaid in the past, the main criteria to continue participating to watch fairs will be the timing as well as the costs which today are not consistent with commercial requirements and returns of investments” commented Jean-ChristopheBabin, CEO of the Bvlgari Group.

消息公布后, Taubman集团的股价大涨52%,西蒙地产集团上涨1%。目前西蒙的股票市值为452亿美元,在过去12个月中下跌了24%。
西蒙集团表示,该交易将有助于立即增加集团的运营资金,按年率计算至少增加3%。而Taubman将继续由其董事长、总裁兼CEO Robert Taubman管理。
据悉,Taubman集团管理并租赁着位于美国与亚洲的26个区域购物中心,包括新泽西州Short Hills的The Mall和洛杉矶的Beverly Center。
西蒙地产CEO David Simon表示,通过此次收购,将为消费者创造令人兴奋的购物和娱乐体验、为零售商提供沉浸式机会,并为当地社区创造大量新的就业机会。西蒙地产还于近期参与了Forever 21的收购,并且是该品牌的最大业主之一。
Taubman Centers shares skyrocketed Monday after the mallowner agreed to be bought by larger rival Simon Property Group in a deal valued at $3.6 billion.
The companies said Simon plans to acquire Taubman’s stock for $52.50 a share, or a 51% premium to where Taubman shares closed on Friday.

Simon, which is known for owning and operating top-tier shopping malls, said it expects the deal to immediately boost its funds from operations, adding at least 3% on annualized basis.
Taubman will continue to be managed by Robert Taubman, its chairman, president and CEO. The company owns, manages or leases 26 super-regional shopping centers in the U.S. and Asia, including The Mall at Short Hills in New Jersey and the Beverly Center in Los Angeles.
As part of the deal, the Taubman family is selling one-third of their stake and will continue to own 20% of Taubman Realty Group LP.
“By joining together, we will enhance the ability of [Taubman Reality] to invest in innovative retail environments that createexciting shopping and entertainment experiences for consumers, immersive opportunities for retailers, and substantial new job prospects for local communities,” said Chief Executive Officer and President David Simon in a press release.
This deal is only the latest for Simon. It recentlypartnered with U.S. mall owner Brookfield Property Partners and Authentic Brands in an attempt to buy Forever 21 for $81 million. The fast fashion retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September.
Simon is one of Forever 21′s biggest landlords, with dozens of stores in its malls.
