Hudson's Bay Co said on Monday that it would sell its flagship downtown Toronto store and neighboring executive offices for C$650 million ($587.09 million) to Cadillac Fairview Corp and open a full-line Saks store in the leased-back space. The Canadian retailer, which completed its $2.4 billion purchase of U.S. luxury chain Saks Inc late last year, said it expects to open an approximately 150,000 square-foot, multi-level Saks in the fall of 2015, co-located with the current Hudson's Bay store.

综合报道

老牌大型零售商Hudson’s Bay(TSX:HBC)周五宣布与投资管理公司Land & Buildings达成协议,Land & Buildings同意停止反对私募基金Rhone Capital购入Hudson’s Bay股权。

投资管理公司Land & Buildings上月向安省证监会(OSC)提出申请,要求证监会就多伦多证券交易所(TSE)决定有条件批准Rhone Capital入股Hudson’s Bay进行上诉聆讯。

根据双方达成的协议,Hudson’s Bay将须透过发行股票集资,触动Rhone Capital所购入优先股的一年价格保护条款,然后Hudson’s Bay透过发行股权,让全部股东按持股比例供股,有别于私人配售形式。此外,Land & Buildings亦同意在Hudson’s Bay 2018年股东周年大会前不采取进一步行动。

Rhone Capital较早前同意以购入8年强制性可兑换优先股形式,投资约6.32亿元于Hudson’s Bay。这项投资协议亦包括Hudson’s Bay把美国Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue一幢物业,售给WeWork和Rhone Capital的合资企业WeWork Property Advisors。

过去数周,Hudson’s Bay与Land &Building互相指责,直斥对方在出售美国物业和相关Rhone Capital投资误导投资者。Rhone Capital最初将持有Hudson’s Bay的21.8%股权,然后逐步增至30%。

Hudson’s Bay预期Rhone Capital的投资计划,将于下周完成。

Hudson’s Bay行政主席贝克(Richard Baker)表示,公司将会继续评估其持有的房产组合,确保为公司和投资者带来最大利益。
