On 8 April 2024, the Company entered Administration and Simon J Edel and Alexander P Williams, partners of EY-Parthenon’s Turnaround and Restructuring team, were appointed as Joint Administrators (‘Joint Administrators’). The appointment was made by the Company’s directors in accordance with paragraph 22(2) of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986.
Shortly following their appointment, the Joint Administrators completed a sale of the business and certain assets of the Company to Muji Europe Limited (the “Purchaser”). The sale of the Company includes the transfer of the European branches of Muji to the Purchaser, along with all employees.
As a result of this sale, the business is continuing to trade under new ownership and Muji’s European retail and e-commerce stores remain open.
