Macy’s Inc. said Monday, July 15, it will no longer pursue merger talks with Arkhouse and Brigade, citing the lack of certain financing. In March Arkhouse Management and Brigade Capital Management raised their offer to acquire Macy’s in a deal then valued at $6.6 billion, or $24 per share cash, up from a earlier offer of $21 per share.
