The plan will issue rights to existing shareholders effective May 29 and will be triggered if any investor surpasses 15% ownership, aiming to prevent a takeover.
Victoria’s Secret shares rose 2.2% in premarket trading despite a 45% decline year-to-date, as BBRC also launched a competing global lingerie and beauty brand.
