Gleiss Lutz has assisted Takko Fashion in reaching an agreement with its shareholders, bondholders and banks on the financial restructuring and refinancing of the company. This will secure Takko Fashion's financing, substantially reduce liabilities by EUR 250 million and improve the company's capital structure.
The refinancing and sustainable strengthening of its capital structure will also make it possible to finance the further implementation of Takko Fashion's growth strategy. As part of the transaction, Takko Fashion's current bondholders will acquire a majority stake in the company.
