TOD’S acquired by L CATTERTON

ITALY Luxury Goods / Fashion & Leather Goods EV 1b - 4b EUR

Context

L Catterton, in concert with the founding Della Valle family, has launched a voluntary tender offer to acquire the remaining shares of Tod’s SpA and delist the company from Euronext Milan. This represents the family's second attempt to take the company private in less than two years, following a failed bid in 2022. The strategic rationale for the delisting is to provide the group with "greater management and organizational flexibility" and faster decision-making capabilities. Post-transaction, the Della Valle family will maintain majority control with a 54% stake, while L Catterton will hold 36% and LVMH (via Delphine S.A.S.) will retain its existing 10% stake. This structure reinforces the long-standing "friendly support" between the Arnault and Della Valle families while positioning Tod's for a period of accelerated consolidation and brand repositioning under private ownership.
