The American fashion company Guess Inc. commissioned consultants: Inside to examine a takeover offer by WHP Global.
On Monday, Guess confirmed that the company has hired financial and legal consultants: inside to support the specially used Special Committee in the examination of a non -binding takeover offer of a connected company of WHP global.
According to Guess, the aim of the commission is to determine what is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders: inside. WHP Investments therefore intends to acquire those outstanding shares that have not yet been owned by the named shareholders.
Regardless of this, the law firm Levi & Korsinsky LLP and Kaskela Law LLC have announced in separate messages that they have initiated studies on the fairness of the planned purchase. According to the Kaskela, the current offer of $ 13 per share is “significantly below the 52-week maximum price of over $ 33 per share” and also “under the course targets of leading analyst: inside that are over $ 18”.
Guess emphasized that it cannot currently be guaranteed whether there would actually be a binding offer or an agreement. The company only wants to make further statements after the evaluation has been completed.
The connection between WHP Global and Guess was initiated in April 2024 when both jointly took over the intellectual property rights and operational assets of the fashion fire Rag & Bone. Since then, the New York Label has contributed significantly to the financial success of Guess. The company’s turnover grew by five percent in the fourth quarter of the 2025 financial year – an increase that is largely attributed to the acquisition of RAG & Bone.
