We can confirm that our Russian subsidiary has been sold to Stockmann JSC, a company owned by one of Hugo Boss' long-standing wholesale partners in the country
Neither party disclosed the financial details of the deal, but Russian law requires foreign companies to sell assets at a price reduced by at least 50%.
Stockmann has not yet commented on the deal. According to the Russian corporate filings, the transaction was completed on August 2, and now Stockmann JSC owns all the shares of Hugo Boss Rus with a nominal value of 40 million rubles (USD 470,588).
