Why is Guess being Investigated?

Guess is a fashion retailer with global distribution and sales operations, including over 1,500 directly operated retail stores and distribution operations in approximately 100 countries.  Guess was founded in 1981 by the Marciano family, who still own a significant portion of the Company’s stock.  One of the founders, Paul Marciano, still sits on the Board and serves as the Chief Creative Officer of the Company.

Paul Marciano, along with other investors including Maurice Marciano (another founder who no longer serves on the Company’s board of directors) have negotiated to rollover their ownership in Guess to own up to 49% of the new intellectual property holding company post-closing, and 100% of the operating company post-closing.

BFA Law is investigating whether Guess’ board of directors, its executive officers, and/or any of the stockholders participating in the rollover have breached fiduciary duties to the stockholders in connection with the merger.

What Are My Rights?

If you currently own Guess stock, you may have rights under Delaware law to investigate whether or how Guess’s board of directors may have breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger.
