(Alliance News) - Harvey Nichols has agreed to Frasers Group PLC's demand to enter a group auction, Sky News reported Tuesday.
Harvey Nichols, a London-based luxury department store chain, wrote to brand-owners which supply Harvey Nichols that it had been "obliged" to allow Frasers to participate in the process alongside other interested parties.
That is despite objections from some brand-owners to a potential sale to Frasers, a Shirebrook, England-based retail, sport, real estate, intellectual property and investment group.
On July 4, Sky had reported that Next PLC plotted a takeover bid for Harvey Nichols. Back then, Frasers was not thought to be part of the corporate sale process.
Fraser shares fell 1.1% to 749.50 pence each on Tuesday afternoon in London, while Next shares were down 1.4% at 14,550.00p.
