Switzerland-based luxury goods holding company Richemont has completed the acquisition of Italian online retailer Yoox Net-a-Porter (YNAP) Group.

Announced in January this year, the transaction secured approval from the Italian stock market regulator, Consob, during March.

The transaction is reportedly valued at €2.8bn for remaining stake (around 70%) to be acquired and €5.3bn for the entire group.

"YNAP powered by Richemont will be truly unbeatable."

Richmont already owns around 23% stake in YNAP and will own around 95% of stake following this transaction.

YNAP founder and CEO Federico Marchetti said: “YNAP powered by Richemont will be truly unbeatable. Our solid track record of growth has made us #1 in online luxury. Together with Richemont, we will invest even more in product, technology, logistics, people and marketing.
