The transaction, first announced on&nbsp;<strong>May 5, 2025<\/strong>, has now secured clearance from all regulatory authorities, marking a decisive step toward closing on&nbsp;<strong>September 12, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">In their joint statement released Thursday, the parties noted that&nbsp;<em>\u201call regulatory approvals required to complete\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;the deal had been obtained, paving the way for Skechers to transition from its status as a publicly traded company into private ownership under 3G Capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">This deal represents not just a milestone for Skechers but also for the broader retail and fashion sector, given its record-breaking valuation and the legacy of Skechers\u2019 dramatic rise in the footwear business.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">Shareholder Options and Deal Mechanics<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">For&nbsp;<a class=\"break-word hover:text-super hover:decoration-super underline decoration-from-font underline-offset-1 transition-all duration-300\" href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/shoe-industry-news\/skechers-kizik-patent-lawsuit-response-1237997854\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Skechers shareholders<\/a>, the path forward is time-sensitive. Stockholders of record as of&nbsp;<strong>July 29, 2025<\/strong>, must make their merger election by&nbsp;<strong>5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Under the terms of the agreement,&nbsp;<strong>3G Capital is offering $63 per share<\/strong>.

In July, a Skechers&nbsp;<a class=\"break-word hover:text-super hover:decoration-super underline decoration-from-font underline-offset-1 transition-all duration-300\" href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/shoe-industry-news\/skechers-investor-injunction-bid-footwear-merger-deal-legal-1237989128\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">investor attempted to block the deal<\/a>, arguing that stockholders lacked adequate disclosure regarding the terms of the merger election, particularly concerning the new equity units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">That case, however, was dismissed by a California federal district court judge in Los Angeles, clearing one of the last major hurdles. The ruling opened the door for the deal to close as soon as the required consents from the&nbsp;<strong>Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)<\/strong>&nbsp;were obtained. With&nbsp;<strong>SEC approval<\/strong>&nbsp;now secured, the merger is finally on track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">It had already received&nbsp;<a class=\"break-word hover:text-super hover:decoration-super underline decoration-from-font underline-offset-1 transition-all duration-300\" href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/shoe-industry-news\/skechers-antitrust-minority-shareholder-injunction-merger-1237952716\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">antitrust clearance<\/a>&nbsp;in June 2025, reinforcing regulatory comfort with Skechers\u2019 continued position in the competitive footwear landscape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">Skechers\u2019 Rise Under the Greenberg Family<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The&nbsp;<strong>$9 billion valuation<\/strong>&nbsp;attached to this merger underscores the remarkable trajectory of Skechers, led by the father-son duo&nbsp;<strong>Robert and Michael Greenberg<\/strong>. Launched in the early 1990s as a challenger in the athletic footwear space, Skechers grew into a global powerhouse over three decades by maintaining a strategic focus on value-driven casual and performance shoes aimed at wide-ranging consumer demographics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">From lifestyle sneakers to performance running shoes, Skechers cultivated brand loyalty through affordability, comfort, and diverse design offerings. Today, Skechers operates in more than&nbsp;<strong>180 countries<\/strong>&nbsp;worldwide, ranking among the largest footwear brands globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The Greenbergs\u2019 leadership has been central to that growth, and importantly, both&nbsp;<strong>Robert and Michael Greenberg will remain<\/strong>&nbsp;with Skechers following the transaction, as will key senior management. Continuity at the top signals to investors and analysts that Skechers\u2019 direction will remain consistent even as ownership dynamics shift. The company will also continue to be headquartered in its hometown of&nbsp;<strong>Manhattan Beach, California<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">3G Capital\u2019s Footprint and Playbook<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&#038;+p]:mt-4 [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&#038;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Founded in 2004, Brazilian private equity powerhouse&nbsp;<a class=\"break-word hover:text-super hover:decoration-super underline decoration-from-font underline-offset-1 transition-all duration-300\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/profile\/company\/841684Z:US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">3G Capital<\/a> is known for its bold acquisitions and transformative operational strategies.
