The advisors are multinational law firm Kirkland & Ellis, professional services company Alvarez & Marsal and investment banking and financial advisory services providing firm Moelis & Co, reported Wall Street Journal (WSJ) citing sources.
The publication quoted a company representative as saying: “Like other companies that have been impacted by the pandemic, inflation and high interest rates, we are working with our financial advisers to improve our capital structure.”
Following the report, Tupperware’s shares went up by 42% to $1.87, while the company’s shares were at a ‘three-year low’ at $1.21 at the beginning of the week, reported Reuters.
Tupperware’s sales have seen a continuous fall in the last three years. The WSJ report said shares fell 18% to around $1.3bn last year from 2021.
The storage brand said it is ‘remediating’ some prevailing doubts in terms of its ability to continue the business.
