Capri Holdings and Tapestry terminate their $8.5 billion merger due to regulatory challenges.

Capri Holdings and Tapestry, Inc. have mutually terminated their $8.5 billion merger deal due to regulatory hurdles and the unlikelihood of obtaining U.S. regulatory approvals by the deadline of February 10, 2025. The Federal Trade Commission had filed a lawsuit to block the merger, arguing it would reduce competition in the luxury handbag market. Capri, which owns Versace, Jimmy Choo, and Michael Kors, will now focus on its individual growth strategies. Capri's shares fell 6% in pre-market trading.
