Capri and Tapestry called off their merger on Thursday after the Federal Trade Commission successfully sued to block the megadeal. "With the termination of the merger agreement, we are now focusing on the future of Capri and our three iconic luxury houses," Capri CEO John Idol said in a statement. In April, the FTC sued to block the deal, saying the tie-up would disadvantage consumers and reduce benefits for the companies' employees. Tapestry plans to fund the stock repurchase through a combination of cash on hand and debt. Tapestry said it will reimburse Capri around $45 million.

Aug 10 (Reuters) - Coach parent Tapestry (TPR.N) will buy Michael Kors owner Capri Holdings (CPRI.N) in a deal valued at $8.5 billion, creating a top U.S. fashion house that can better compete with larger European rivals in the global luxury market. Tapestry will pay Capri shareholders $57 per share in cash, or $6.69 billion, representing a premium of nearly 65%. In the same year, Capri, formerly known as Michael Kors, acquired British shoemaker Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion.

The Wall Street Journal first reported about a potential deal between Capri and Tapestry late on Wednesday.
