A prospectus filed Tuesday gives a listing size of $100 million, but that’s a placeholder amount likely to change. The New York-based company could be worth about $10 billion in an initial public offering.
Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group Inc., BlackRock Inc., Leonard Green & Partners LP, General Atlantic LLC and Lion Capital LLP are listed among its largest shareholders, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Simon has teamed with Authentic Brands in other joint ventures to acquire several other retailers, including Aeropostale, Brooks Brothers, Lucky Brand Dungarees and Nautica.
Authentic Brands Group’s profit amounted to $295 million during the quarter that ended in March, topping its full-year total of $225 million in 2020.
