British retail company Frasers Group has recently increased its investment in German luxury fashion house Hugo Boss. The Group now owns 3,137,900 shares of common stock, representing 4.5 per cent of Hugo Boss's total share capital and 9,665,000 shares of common stock via the sale of put options, representing 13.7 per cent of Hugo Boss's total share capital.

After taking into account the premium it will receive under the put options, Frasers Group's maximum aggregate exposure in connection with its acquired interests in Hugo Boss, with the common stock holding valued at the closing share price on March 7, 2022, is approximately €475 million (c. £390 million), Frasers Group said in a media release.

“This investment reflects Frasers Group's belief in the Hugo Boss brand, strategy and management team. Frasers Group continues to intend to be a supportive stakeholder and create value in the interests of both Frasers Group's and Hugo Boss' shareholders,” the release added.
