LANDS’ END BOARD OF DIRECTORS INITIATES PROCESS TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE
DODGEVILLE, Wis., March 7, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Lands' End, Inc. (NASDAQ: LE), today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger or similar transaction involving the Company, to maximize shareholder value.
“Lands’ End is a classic American lifestyle brand – and the Company’s strategy and execution have delivered significant operational and financial improvements,” said Josephine Linden, Chair of the Board. “While we remain confident in the Company’s potential for future value creation, the Board also believes that the market is undervaluing this great Company and its upside potential.”
Linden continued, “As a result, in consultation with the Board’s legal and financial advisors, we have determined it is an appropriate time to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. We are committed to conducting a rigorous process to best serve the interests of all Lands’ End shareholders.”
No assurances can be given as to the outcome or timing of the Board’s process. The Company does not intend to make any further public comment regarding the process until it determines that disclosure is appropriate.
Perella Weinberg Partners serves as Lands’ End’s financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz serves as Lands’ End’s legal advisor.
