Saks Fifth Avenue's Parent Company To Buy Neiman Marcus For $2.65B, With Amazon's Help: Report
The parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue has reportedly agreed to acquire its rival Neiman Marcus for $2.65 billion. The deal, which is expected to be announced imminently, will see the involvement of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN).
據報道，Saks Fifth Avenue的母公司已經同意以26.5億美元收購其競爭對手Neiman Marcus。預計這項交易即將宣佈，亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）將參與其中。
What Happened: The acquisition, which has been approved by the boards of both companies, will result in the creation of a luxury retail powerhouse, reported The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
據《華爾街日報》援引知情人士報道，這次收購已經獲得了兩家公司的董事會批准，將導致一個奢侈品零售巨頭的誕生。
The deal is being financed by HBC, the holding company that purchased Saks in 2013. Amazon will take a minority stake in the new entity, to be named Saks Global, and provide it with technological and logistical support. Another minority shareholder is Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM).
這筆交易由於是HBC（2013年購買Saks的Holding公司）提供融資，將使亞馬遜成爲一家名爲Saks Global的新實體的少數股東，併爲其提供技術和物流支持。另一家少數股東是Salesforce Inc（紐交所股票代碼：CRM）。
The combined company is expected to have annual sales of around $10 billion. Saks already has a business relationship with both Amazon and Salesforce, which the deal will further strengthen.
預計合併後的公司年銷售額將達到約100億美元。Saks已經與亞馬遜和Salesforce建立了業務關係，這項交易將進一步加強這種關係。
Luxury behemoth LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, owner of Louis Vuitton and numerous other brands, achieved sales of approximately $94 billion last year.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Amazon did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
Saks Fifth Avenue，Neiman Marcus和亞馬遜尚未對Benzinga的置評請求做出回應。
Why It Matters: The acquisition is a significant development in the luxury retail sector, which has been facing challenges due to changing consumer behavior and the rise of direct-to-consumer sales by fashion brands.
爲應對消費者行爲的變化和時裝品牌直銷的崛起，奢侈品零售業面臨挑戰，這次收購是該行業的重大發展。
Both Saks and Neiman Marcus have been struggling in recent years, with Neiman Marcus even filing for bankruptcy in 2020. The deal is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the companies' positions in the face of these challenges.
近年來，Saks和Neiman Marcus都面臨困境，2020年Neiman Marcus甚至申請破產。此次交易被視爲加強兩家公司在面對這些挑戰時的地位的戰略舉措。
This acquisition comes after Neiman Marcus rejected a $3 billion takeover bid from Saks in 2023. The two companies have been in negotiations for a potential merger for years, and this deal is a culmination of those efforts.
這次收購是在Neiman Marcus拒絕Saks在2023年提出的30億美元的收購要約之後進行的。兩家公司多年來一直在就潛在的合併進行談判，而這項交易則是這些努力的總結。
