G-III to acquire Marc Jacobs operating business in 50/50 venture with WHP Global

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

G-III Apparel Group signed agreements on May 14, 2026 to buy the global Marc Jacobs operating business, while WHP Global takes over licensing operations through a jointly owned intellectual property venture. G-III said it will fund its approximately $500 million investment with cash on hand and revolving credit borrowings, and that the deal is expected to be dilutive for the first 12 months after closing, with accretion expected thereafter.

Key points

  • G-III's investment is approximately $500 million, funded with cash on hand and revolving credit facility borrowings.
  • The deal is expected to be dilutive during the first 12 months after closing, with accretion expected thereafter.
  • Closing is subject to conditions including regulatory approval and is expected in G-III's fiscal third quarter of 2027.
  • Either party may terminate if closing has not occurred by the six-month anniversary of signing, subject to a possible 60-day extension for antitrust approvals.
