Fossil Group sets meeting for senior notes restructuring plan

RICHARDSON, Texas - Fossil Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:FOSL) announced that its subsidiary, Fossil (UK) Global Services Ltd, will hold a meeting on Thursday, November 6, 2025, for creditors of its $150 million 7.00% Senior Notes due November 30, 2026. This restructuring effort comes as the company faces a total debt burden of $324.39 million, with InvestingPro data showing a concerning debt-to-equity ratio of 2.16.

The meeting, scheduled for 2:00 p.m. London time at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP offices in London, will allow creditors to consider and potentially approve a restructuring plan proposed under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006.

Creditors as of the October 27 record date who previously participated in the company’s exchange offer are already deemed to have appointed the information agent as their proxy to vote in favor of the restructuring plan.

Those who have not yet voted are encouraged to appoint a proxy by submitting a Plan Creditor Letter by November 3. Creditors wishing to attend the meeting, either in person or via video conference, must register by the same deadline.

If approved by creditors, a sanction hearing before the High Court of Justice of England and Wales is expected on November 10, 2025.

Documents related to the restructuring plan are available on a dedicated website and through the SEC’s EDGAR system. Retail holders can contact an appointed retail advocate with questions about the voting procedure or the nature of the restructuring plan.

Fossil Group specializes in consumer fashion accessories including watches, jewelry, handbags, and leather goods under owned and licensed brands.
