Positioning Express for a Successful Future

Express has received a letter of intent from one of our key strategic partners, WHP Global, together with Simon Property Group and Brookfield Properties, that contemplates an acquisition of a substantial majority of our retail stores and operations. To facilitate this sale process, Express has initiated voluntary court-supervised Chapter 11 proceedings.

The proposed transaction will provide Express with additional financial resources, better position the business for profitable growth and maximize value for the Company’s stakeholders.
