The purchase split the house in two: the intellectual property went into MJ Topco, LLC, owned 50 per cent by a G-III affiliate and 50 per cent by a WHP Global affiliate, while G-III took the operating business and an exclusive licence from the joint venture to run Marc Jacobs shops and e-commerce, running to December 2041 with ten five-year renewals. No price for the whole transaction appears in the filings.</description></item></channel></rss>
