American Apparel Rejects $300 Million Takeover Bid From Dov Charney

American Apparel
Dov Charney was fired in 2014 as chief executive and chairman after an investigation into alleged inappropriate behavior with employees and misuse of company funds. Since then, he has been fighting to regain control of the company he founded (Thinkstock).

The board of American Apparel Inc. has rejected a $300 million takeover bid from investors who support the return of ousted Chief Executive Dov Charney, a person familiar with the matter told the Los Angeles Times.

The rejection of an offer from Hagan Capital Group and Silver Creek Capital Partners is yet another dramatic turn for the Los Angeles retailer, which filed for bankruptcy in October. The investors, who had previously submitted a $200 million offer in December, could still make another bid for the company, according to The Times.

But the clock is counting down. On Jan. 20, American Apparel will seek approval from a Bankruptcy Court judge for a reorganization plan it submitted at the time of filing for Chapter 11. The plan, which has gotten approval from most of its creditors, would take the company private and hand nearly 100 percent control to its largest bondholders.

Chad Hagan, managing partner at Hagan Capital Group, said the investors back the return of Charney as co-CEO. Charney was fired in 2014 after an investigation uncovered allegations of misuse of company funds and inappropriate behavior with employees.

Hagan argued that the takeover plan was better for the company’s creditors. The investors said that senior lenders would fully recover their money, versus 33 percent to 77 percent under the other plan. Unsecured creditors would get $10 million to split, more than the $2.5 million offered by the reorganization deal, the investors said.

Analysts told The Times the investors could try to recruit the unsecured creditors to their side, and persuade the judge to postpone any final decision until he has examined the new offer.
