L’ambitieux pari de Lanvin Group à Wall Street
Lanvin Group, la branche mode du conglomérat chinois Fosun International, vise haut. Elle ambitionne d’inventer « le nouveau luxe » et d’atteindre une valorisation de plus de 1,9 milliard de dollars en s'introduisant en Bourse à New York et de lever jusqu'à 544 millions de dollars pour financer ses rêves d'expansion mondiale. Bon courage ! Pour y parvenir, Lanvin Group, propriétaire de Lanvin, Sergio Rossi, Wolford, St. John Knits et Caruso, a fusionné avec un SPAC (une société d'acquisition à vocation spécifique ou special purpose acquisition company) coté aux États-Unis et affilié à Primavera Capital Group, une société d'investissement chinoise fondée par Fred Hu, ancien président de Goldman Sachs Greater China. La transaction proposée, censée avoir lieu au second semestre, fait tiquer les investisseurs.
