Saks Global announced it has formally completed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization and renamed the company to Exemplar Luxury Group. The reorganization reduced the company's debt by 75% while maintaining sufficient liquidity, with support from investors Pentwater Capital Management and Bracebridge Capital.
The restructured board of seven members includes CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck, former Ulta Beauty CEO Dave Kimbell, and former Moët Hennessy and DFS Group CEO Philippe Schaus, with each investor firm appointing two representatives. The company will focus on three core luxury retail brands: Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman.
