Cole Haan Files for U.S. Initial Public Offering

Cole Haan, the premium shoemaker owned by private equity firm Apax Partners, filed for a U.S. initial public offering.

The Greenland, New Hampshire-based company filed Friday with an initial offering size of $100 million, a placeholder amount that’s likely to change. Among risk factors listed in the 157-page prospectus, Cole Haan listed the potential impact of the coronavirus outbreak, which it said could negatively impact its sourcing and manufacturing operations as well as consumer spending.
