Hudson’s Bay, which also owns the Saks Fifth Avenue luxury department store chain, had said in November it would review Signa’s offer for Kaufhof, but also called it incomplete, non-binding and unsolicited, with no evidence of financing.
The sources asked not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential.
“Consistent with its fiduciary responsibility, the (Hudson’s Bay) board is reviewing the offer,” a Hudson’s Bay spokesman said on Wednesday.
