The buyout came after the company considered an initial public offering.
Katz says the private equity owners, who bought Neiman Marcus for $6 billion last year, are supportive when it comes to investment dollars.
Those investments go to the development of Neiman Marcus’s e-commerce and omni-channel shopping.
