PYMNTS Daily Data Dive: Gildan Tries To Save American Apparel

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy twice in 13 months, American Apparel now may have a future with Gildan Activewear. American Apparel still has more than 115 stores in the U.S. But as with the first time American Apparel went through bankruptcy, it missed its first two required payments, totaling $2.5 million.

The agreement with Gildan includes buying the intellectual property rights of American Apparel for $66 million, but not the AA retail store assets. American Apparel listed assets and liabilities between $100 million and $500 million.
