Tiffany & Co. confirmed it has received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from LVMH Moet Hennessy – Louis Vuitton to acquire Tiffany for $120 per share in cash.

While the parties are not in discussions, Tiffany’s Board of Directors, consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities, is carefully reviewing the proposal, with the assistance of independent financial and legal advisors, to determine the course of action it believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  Tiffany shareholders need take no action at this time. 

Tiffany is successfully executing on its business plan and remains focused on achieving its goal of becoming The Next Generation Luxury Jeweler.  

Centerview Partners and Goldman Sachs are serving as financial advisors to Tiffany and Sullivan & Cromwell is serving as Tiffany’s legal advisor.
