Katjes International closes investment in global brand Missoni

20 May 2026 15:00 CEST

• Katjes International has today completed the acquisition of approximately 27%
of Missoni
• Antitrust approvals in Germany and Austria were already obtained in April

Dusseldorf/Milan, 20 May 2026 – Katjes International has today, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Katjes Quiet Luxury, acquired approximately 27% of the
shares in Missoni S.p.A. (“Missoni”). Following the agreement signed on 3 March
2026, the transaction has now been completed on 20 May 2026. Antitrust approvals
were already granted on 10 April and 21 April 2026 in Germany and Austria,
respectively. The transaction has therefore been successfully completed.

In the first step of the transaction, the Italian growth equity fund FSI
acquired all shares held by the Missoni family. The antitrust approval in Italy
for this preceding transaction was granted on 21 April 2026. Immediately
thereafter, Katjes Quiet Luxury acquired the 27% stake. Katjes Quiet Luxury has
additionally agreed market standard drag-along by FSI and tag-along rights and
obligations followed by a call option on FSI’s shares with the possibility to
become majority shareholder.

With this step, Katjes International continues its growth trajectory and further
strengthens its portfolio with another iconic brand in the European luxury
segment. The transaction represents the next logical step in expanding the
luxury portfolio of Katjes Quiet Luxury following the acquisition of the
majority stake in the German luxury brand BOGNER in September 2025.
