Saks Global secures $1.75B financing ahead of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing

Luxury retailer Saks Global is finalising a $1.75 billion financing package ahead of an imminent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The deal includes a $1 billion debtor-in-possession loan from Pentwater Capital Management and Bracebridge Capital, plus $250 million from banks. An additional $500 million will become available upon exiting bankruptcy protection. The financing will cover operational costs, vendor payments and inventory restocking during reorganisation. Saks Global was formed through Hudson's Bay Co.'s merger of Saks and Neiman Marcus but accumulated significant debt, leading to cash flow problems and missed payments. The debtor-in-possession loan is designed to keep the retailer operating whilst it restructures under bankruptcy protection.
