AMERICAN APPAREL, INC

Endeavor Acquisition Corp, listed on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker EDA, filed an amended S-1/A registration statement with the SEC in December 2005 as part of its blank-check company formation targeting the consumer and retail sector. The vehicle completed its IPO in 2005 and subsequently announced and closed a business combination with American Apparel, Inc., the Los Angeles-based vertically integrated clothing manufacturer and direct retailer, with the surviving public entity continuing to trade under the EDA ticker. The transaction was among the more prominent consumer-sector SPAC deals of the mid-2000s blank-check era.
