L Brands announced that private-equity firm Sycamore Partners gave legal notice to terminate the agreement to buy the controlling stake of lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret.
Earlier this year, L Brands had said that it would sell a controlling stake in its Victoria’s Secret unit to Sycamore, valuing Secret at $1.1 billion. L Brands wanted to focus on its Bath & Body Works brand.
“Sycamore Partners delivered a notice April 22 purporting to terminate the transaction agreement relating to the sale of a 55% interest in … Victoria’s Secret,” L Brands said in a statement.
But L Brands believes that Sycamore Partners’ purported termination of the transaction agreement is invalid, and it intends to pursue all legal remedies to enforce its contractual rights (as indicated in the company’s statement).
