The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Capri Holdings Limited (CPRI) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability of its Acquisition by Tapestry, Inc. (TPR)

According to the complaint, on August 10, 2023, Capri and Tapestry jointly announced their entry into a merger agreement, pursuant to which Tapestry would purchase Capri for $57 per share in cash. On October 25, 2023, Capri announced that its shareholders had voted to approve adoption of the Merger Agreement.

The complaint alleges that on April 22, 2024, the FTC brought an action to enjoin the Capri acquisition and subsequently moved for a preliminary injunction. The FTC alleged that, if allowed, the Capri Acquisition would eliminate direct head-to-head competition between Kate Spade, Coach, and Michael Kors. On October 24, 2024, the FTC blocked the acquisition. On this news, the price of Capri stock fell to $21.26 per share or nearly 50 percent.

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose: (a) that the accessible luxury handbag market is a distinct and well-defined market within the overall handbag market and understood as such by the individual defendants, as well as by other Capri and Tapestry executives; (b) that Capri and Tapestry maintained analogous production facilities and supply chains for their accessible luxury handbags that were distinct from the production facilities and supply chains used to manufacture luxury or mass market handbags, confirming that the accessible luxury handbag market is distinct from the mass market and luxury handbag markets; (c) that Capri and Tapestry internally considered Coach and Michael Kors to be each other’s closest and most direct competitors; (d) that, conversely, Capri and Tapestry did not internally consider their handbag brands to be in direct competition with luxury handbags or mass market handbags; (e) that a primary internal rationale for the Capri Acquisition was to consolidate prevalent brands within the accessible luxury handbag market so as to reduce competition, increase prices, improve profit margins, and reduce consumer choice within that market; and (f) that, as a result of (a)-(e) above, the risk of adverse regulatory actions and/or the Capri Acquisition being blocked was materially higher than represented by defendants.
