Coupang confirmed it has completed its purchase of Farfetch, saying a fresh $500 million in capital should keep the company running smoothly.
Just 48 hours after Coupang rescued Farfetch, Mike Ashley's Frasers Group purchased the loss-making Matches at a discount price of 52 million pounds.
Industry sources say that if troubled Farfetch does not secure rescue financing in the coming days, it will have to call in administrators in the U.K.
Farfetch cut its outlook, and shares of the luxury platform dropped sharply in after hours trading as investors reset.
