With the restructuring, the company said it received $300 million in debtor-in- possession financing and has entered into a “restructuring support agreement” with parties that hold or control over 78 percent of its secured term debt and over 89 percent of its unsecured term debt.

Nine West also said the agreement “demonstrates the support of the company’s lenders and their confidence in the go-forward businesses, as well as providing a clear path to emergence from Chapter 11.”
The company said it will seek to sell its Nine West and Bandolino footwear and handbag businesses. The business said it has entered into a “stalking horse” asset purchase agreement with Authentic Brands Group, and the sale will be subject to a competitive sale process.
The future focus of the company will on its “profitable” One Jeanswear Group, The Jewelry Group, the Kasper Group, and Anne Klein businesses during the bankruptcy process.
The company is saddled with about $1.4 billion in debt, according to media reports.
Nine West has an outlet shoe store in Monroe.
