奢侈品最大收购案告吹  

LVMH scraps deal with Tiffany
Louis Vuitton owner LVMH is scrapping its $16.2 billion acquisition of Tiffany
a deal that would have been the biggest ever in the luxury industry.
The luxury-goods giant said Wednesday the merger agreement signed last November provides for a closing deadline of no later than Nov 24
2020.
LVMH集团9月9日发布声明称，按照双方去年11月达成的收购协议，2020年11月24日是交易截止日期。
But Tiffany had requested extending the date to Dec 31
and the French minister of foreign affairs had directed the pany to defer the deal until after Jan 6 due to a US threat of taxes on French goods.
The pany said in a statement that it will not be able to plete the acquisition of Tiffany "as it stands."
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the luxury retail sector hard
sending Tiffany's same-store sales down 44% and throwing the LVMH deal into doubt.
Investors worried whether the French pany overpaid
and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault was looking to lower the price of buying the US jewelry chain
according to people familiar with the matter.
