FTI Consulting has gathered initial bids for the struggling retailer Mosaic Brands, and it seems likely that the company will be liquidated.
Here’s some additional information about Mosaic Brands’ situation:
Financial Troubles: Mosaic Brands, which owns brands like Noni B, Millers, Katies, and Rivers, owes around $249 million to various entities. The company went into voluntary administration in late October 2024.
Administrators and Receivers: FTI Consulting has been appointed as the administrator, and KPMG as the receiver. They are currently seeking buyers for the business, with more than a dozen interested parties.
Employee Impact: Over 300 employees are owed an undisclosed amount, and administrators are working on redeployment opportunities to ensure continuity of employment for as many staff as possible.
Global Impact: The collapse has also affected garment workers in Bangladesh, with factories owed more than $30 million. This has created uncertainty for thousands of workers.
Sale Process: Final binding offers for the business are expected in early December 2024. The goal is to achieve a successful sale to avoid liquidation.
