Kohl’s Gets Suitors With Expressions of Interest

March 21, 2022

Kohl’s Board of Directors’ is reviewing expressions of interest in acquiring the Company.

The Board acknowledged receipt of multiple preliminary indications of interest. The proposals received are non-binding and without committed financing.

The Board has authorized Goldman Sachs to coordinate with select bidders who have submitted indications of interest to assist with further due diligence so that they have the opportunity to refine and improve their proposals and include committed financing and binding documentation.

As announced on February 4, 2022, the Finance Committee of the Board is leading the ongoing review of any expressions of interest. The Finance Committee, which was formed pursuant to the 2021 settlement agreement with Macellum Advisors GP, LLC and other shareholders, is comprised exclusively of independent directors.
