Crocs: Acquired Hedude for $ 2.5 billion

Crocs has announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire the casual footwear company Heydude for $ 2.5 billion.

The company will pay $ 2.05 billion in cash and $ 450 million in shares to the company’s founder and CEO Alessandro Rosano.

“We believe that Heydude’s casual, comfortable and lightweight products are in line with long-term consumer trends and fit perfectly with Crocs,” Crocs CEO Andrew Rees said in a statement.

Heydude will continue to operate as an independent entity once the deal is completed and Rosano will serve as strategic advisor and creative director.

Crocs shares fell 2% in pre-conference trading.
