On this news, Kohl's stock price fell $5.84 per share, or 12.97%, to close at $39.20 per share on May 20, 2022. Then, on July 1, 2022, Kohl's issued a press release "announc[ing] . .. that following the exclusive negotiation period with Franchise Group ('FRG'), the Kohl's Board of Directors (the 'Board') unanimously determined to conclude its strategic review process." In the press release, Kohl's also provided a business update, stating that "[a]s inflationary pressures on the consumer continue, the Company is seeing a softening in consumer spending and now expects sales to be down high-single digits for Q2, as compared to our prior expectations of down low-single digits relative to last year."
