Business Wire
ThredUp Inc. (Nasdaq: TDUP, LTSE: TDUP), one of the largest
online resale platforms for apparel, shoes, and accessories,
announced today that it entered into a binding agreement to divest
its European business, Remix, in a management buyout led by Florin
Filote, the General Manager of Remix. The divestiture closed
simultaneously with the signing of the agreement. ThredUp retains a
minority interest in the Remix business and prior to the closing of
the transaction, Remix received a final cash investment of $2
million from ThredUp to help fund operations as Remix continues its
fundraising process independently. This strategic transaction
allows both ThredUp and Remix to focus on their respective core
markets and strengths.
“This is a mutually beneficial outcome for both ThredUp and
Remix,” said ThredUp Co-Founder and CEO James Reinhart. “We are
confident that Remix will thrive under Florin Filote’s leadership
and the team’s expertise. This transaction will allow ThredUp to
focus on our core U.S. business and continue to innovate and evolve
our marketplace.”
“We are excited to embark on this new chapter as an independent
company,” said Florin Filote, General Manager of Remix. “We have a
strong foundation and a talented team, and we are committed to
continuing to provide our customers with a best-in-class resale
experience. We believe that this transaction will enable us to
accelerate our growth and expand our presence in the European
market.”
Further details of the transaction, including unaudited pro
forma financial information, will be included in a Current Report
on Form 8-K that the Company will file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
