BOSTON, Dec. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton announces that a securities fraud lawsuit has been filed against Capri Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: CPRI) and certain of its executives.

What is this all about?
On August 10, 2023, Capri and Tapestry jointly announced their entry into a merger agreement, pursuant to which Tapestry would purchase Capri for $57 per share in cash. The Capri acquisition would combine three close competitors: Tapestry's Coach and Kate Spade brands and Capri's Michael Kors brand. The lawsuit alleges that after a seven-day hearing, on October 24, 2024, Judge Jennifer L. Rochon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's motion to preliminarily enjoin the Capri acquisition. In doing so, the court determined, among other things, that a "substantial body of compelling evidence" demonstrated that, in contrast to their public statements, defendants themselves believed that their brands were direct competitors in a well-defined "accessible luxury handbag market." On news, the price of Capri stock fell by nearly 50%.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who purchased Capri Holdings Ltd. common stock between August 10, 2023, and October 24, 2024 and has seen their shares fall may be eligible, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.
