Nine West Holdings Inc has filed an amended Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan it says will reduce the company’s pre-bankruptcy debt obligations by more than US$1bn.

In addition, the plan provides “significant” near-term cash recoveries – to the tune of $105m – to stakeholders through the settlement of potential claims and causes of action against the company’s indirect equity owners.
Nine West will also receive a three-year purchase commitment from Belk Inc for an assortment of merchandise across the company’s businesses, further strengthening its operations.
The group filed for bankruptcy in April and sold its namesake and Bandolino footwear and handbag business to Authentic Brands Group (ABG) two months later in a deal valued at more than US$340m.
