Summary · why it matters

Luxury retailer Saks Global announced it has exited bankruptcy and will now operate under the new name Exemplar Luxury Group, focusing on its Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman brands. The restructuring eliminated 75% of its previous debt and reduced its store count to 49 locations after closing 62 off-price stores, including 57 Saks OFF 5th and all five Neiman Marcus Last Call stores, as well as 12 Saks Fifth Avenue and three Neiman Marcus locations. The company also ended its partnership with Amazon during the process. Saks had filed for bankruptcy in January with $3.4 billion in debt, including over $337 million owed to suppliers like Chanel and Gucci-owner Kering, and received approval for a $1 billion bankruptcy loan in February. The new board will include representatives from investment firms Pentwater Capital Management and Bracebridge Capital.
