Randa Makes Perry Ellis Bid

Randa Accessories, a global men’s accessories brand, has made an offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Perry Ellis.

 “Randa believes we are the right acquirer of Perry Ellis and that our compelling proposal provides shareholders with a superior alternative to the previously agreed insider transaction,” says Jeffrey Spiegel, chief executive officer, Randa Accessories. “We are excited by the opportunity to grow our portfolio of brands through the addition of globally-recognizable names, such as Perry Ellis and Original Penguin. We believe we can continue and grow the relationships with Perry Ellis’ inbound licensors for the benefit of all stakeholders in those relationships.”

The proposal follows the previously announced merger between Perry Ellis and a new group controlled by its founder and director, George Feldenkreis.
