Skechers to Go Private in $9 Billion Deal With 3G Capital
Skechers has agreed to be acquired by 3G Capital in a deal valued at approximately $9 billion, the companies announced on May 5.
The all-cash transaction will take the California-based footwear company private, ending its three-decade run as a public company.
The deal was unanimously
Skechers said it will continue to be led by Chairman and CEO Robert Greenberg, President Michael Greenberg, and Chief Operating Officer David Weinberg, with no changes to its senior leadership team or headquarters in Manhattan Beach, California.
'Over the last three decades, Skechers has experienced tremendous growth,' Greenberg said in the statement.
'Our success has been due to our commitment to excellence and innovation across the entire Skechers organization, in-demand comfort-focused product offering, and loyal partners.
