Munich, Octo­ber 12, 2023 — Birken­stock Holding plc (NYSE: BIRK) and its prin­ci­pal share­hol­der L Catter­ton are being advi­sed by Kirk­land & Ellis on the IPO of Birken­stock. The IPO included 10,752,688 million ordi­nary shares issued and sold by Birken­stock and 21,505,376 ordi­nary shares sold by BK LC Lux MidCo S.à r.l., an affi­liate of L Catter­ton. The common shares were each offe­red at an issue price of $46.00 per share.

In connec­tion with the offe­ring, the selling share­hol­der gran­ted the under­wri­ters a 30-day option to purchase up to an addi­tio­nal 4,838,709 shares of common stock to cover over-allo­t­­ments.
