Fashion company Tommy Hilfiger, owned by private equity firm Apax Partners (APAX.UL), will look again at a flotation at the end of 2009, its Chief Executive Fred Gehring said.
The brand, spanning women’s, men’s and children’s wear to watches and accessories, in January shelved plans for a listing on the Amsterdam stock exchange blaming volatile market conditions.
At that time, media reports quoting company sources valued the company at 2 billion euros ($3.2 billion) to 3 billion.
Gehring, speaking to Reuters at the launch party for a new Tommy Hilfiger branded fashion and music website, said given market volatility plans to list were still “on a very high shelf.”
The company would look again “at the end of 2009,” he said.
