Minot Light Capital stated the following regarding MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE:MYTE) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

"MYT Netherlands Parent B.V. (NYSE:MYTE) is currently our partnership’s largest holding and is poised to become a leading curated digital platform for high-end luxury fashion. The company has executed in a consistent and thoughtful manner throughout a meaningful consumer and luxury downturn over the past few years, which has led to a more rational competitive environment. However, the stock has become our largest position due to a game-changing acquisition of YOOX NET-A-PORTER (YNAP) from Richemont (SWX: CFR). For a variety of reasons, Richemont was highly motivated to divest YNAP, and MyTheresa was the only logical and willing acquirer due to the substantial synergies it could bring to the transaction. When the deal was announced, we had a small position in MYTE and it’s market cap was about $340mm (85mm S/O at $4.00/share) with about $15mm of net debt on it’s balance sheet. In exchange for taking on YNAP, Richemont put a cash position of 550mm Euros and no debt on YNAP’s balance sheet, provided a 100mm Euro revolving credit facility to YNAP/MyTheresa, and took a 33% equity stake in the pro-forma combined company.
