He further clarified that "Alpac Capital" has not yet finalized its acquisition of ANN. "All decisions concerning the future of the organization, including its operational structure or employee numbers, will be the responsibility of the new owner and its management. Consequently, it would be inappropriate for me to comment or speculate in advance about decisions that, upon completion of the transaction, will rightfully fall under Alpac Capital's purview," Sadler added.
