Capri Holdings (NYSE:CPRI) announced the mutual termination of its merger agreement with Tapestry, Inc., as required U.S. regulatory approvals were unlikely to be met by February 10, 2025. The company unveiled strategic initiatives focused on returning to growth across its three luxury houses: Versace, Jimmy Choo, and Michael Kors. The strategy includes enhancing brand desirability, product development, and omni-channel experience.

In response, Tapestry announced a new $2 billion share repurchase authorization, including a planned Accelerated Share Repurchase program. The company will maintain its annual dividend rate of $1.40 per share in Fiscal 2025 and redeem $6.1 billion in acquisition-related senior notes. Tapestry agreed to reimburse Capri's transaction expenses of approximately $45 million. The company reaffirmed its Fiscal 2025 outlook and emphasized its commitment to organic growth and shareholder value creation.
