Brazil's Restoque Comércio e Confecções de Roupas has began talks with rival Inbrands over a potential tie-up. The merger would create a leading apparel retailer with 2.8 billion reais ($781 million) in annual combined revenue and around 730 stores.
In a securities filing, Restoque said that both companies signed on Thursday a memorandum of understanding to explore a potential merger.
A two-week period for due diligence was agreed upon, the filing said, adding the combined entity would issue new shares once the deal is announced.
