Jimmy Choo agreed back in July to be bought by Michael Kors for £896m.
Under the terms of the deal, Jimmy Choo shareholders will receive 230p per share, with an enterprise value of around $1.35bn.
The transaction, which got Russian antitrust clearance in September, is expected to give Jimmy Choo the opportunity to grow sales to $1bn and allow for a more balanced portfolio with greater diversification.
