MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (Mytheresa) {NYSE:MYTE} has entered into a significant agreement with Richemont to acquire YOOX NET-A-PORTER (YNAP), a move that positions Mytheresa as a leader in the global multi-brand digital luxury market. Under the terms of the agreement, Richemont will sell YNAP to Mytheresa with a robust €555 million cash position and no outstanding debt.

In addition to the cash transaction, Mytheresa will issue shares to Richemont, representing 33% of its fully diluted share capital, further solidifying the partnership between the two companies. Richemont will also extend a €100 million revolving credit facility to YNAP to support its operational needs during the transition period.

The completion of the transaction is anticipated in the first half of 2025, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. Following the acquisition, Mytheresa plans to integrate YNAP's Luxury division into its operations, creating a unified group that will encompass three distinct storefronts: MYTHERESA, NET-A-PORTER, and MR PORTER.

To enhance operational efficiency, YNAP's off-price division, which includes YOOX and THE OUTNET, will be separated from the main luxury operations, and YNAP's white-label division is set to be discontinued. This strategic move aims to leverage the strengths of both Mytheresa and YNAP, ultimately driving growth and enhancing the customer experience in the luxury retail space.
