Tapestry enters $2.0 billion share buyback funded partly by $750 million term loan
On November 21, 2024, Tapestry entered accelerated share repurchase agreements with Bank of America and Morgan Stanley to buy back up to $2.0 billion of its common stock. The company is funding the buyback with a new $750.0 million term loan, about $1.0 billion of revolving credit facility borrowings, and cash on hand, so the deal increases its debt. Final share count will depend on volume-weighted average prices during the ASR terms, with settlement no later than September 27, 2025.
