MA specialist announces the following: the Direct Retail division of a well-known South Korean conglomerate is looking to acquire majority shares in a travel retail company dealing in duty free shops in international air travel hubs, both class A and B, with a total commercial floor space of at least 10,000 m2 comprising tax & duty free shops and potentially specialist concept stores as well.

As a group of external advisors working with an internationally important merchant bank, we would like to inform interested parties about a partnership opportunity involving the thriving parent company of an emerging Italian luxury casual clothing brand.
Current corporate management aims to consolidate and accelerate the brand’s expansion in international markets and, to this end, has already approved a capital increase. The mid-term objective is to boost turnover and subsequently list the company in the stock exchange. Currently, the company in question has 70 international single-brand boutiques in 54 countries globally, with 20% of turnover originating abroad.
International growth objectives involve opening additional branches and retail locations in the United States and primary European countries. This expansion is predicted to raise turnover abroad to match the level of domestic revenues and, at the same time, grow the retail channel into a more significant proportion of overall turnover. (Turnover for 2012 was reported at approximately 60 million Euros, an amount that is expected to more than triple over the next three-year period thanks to this strategy). To fund this expansion project, we are collecting offers from potential investors interested in acquiring minority capital shares.

Top French-based multinational fashion and retail group is pursuing recapitalization with subsequent divestiture of a subsidiary. The subsidiary in question is an internationally high-profile brand specialized in distance sales of fashion products (women’s, men’s, children’s, lingerie, sports products, shoes and accessories) and home textiles in the medium/affordable price range.
The brand to be restructured has a multi-channel distribution network (mail order and online) and operates in 23 countries, with 18 million customers.
The group is planning to sell off an absolute majority share (or the entire block of shares) to an investor who agrees to collaborate and follow through with recapitalizing and restructuring the target company by injecting the necessary liquidity.
This opportunity is open to any investor with the qualifications required to carry out the above-mentioned project.
