A report is also in media according to which, American Apparel Inc (NYSEMKT:APP) is in talks with Standard General, the New York-based hedge fund that controls 43% of the company’s stock, to secure the funding and to pay off the $10 million loan which was taken from Lion Capital and now becoming more of a liability for the company.
American Apparel Inc (NYSEMKT:APP) is also said to be changing its board, except for the two co-chairmen. According to the reports, Standard General is awaiting the results of an investigation into Charney’s behavior. The loan came due after American Apparel Inc (NYSEMKT:APP) founder and former chief executive officer got ousted.

Answering to the question that whether she thinks American Apparel Inc (NYSEMKT:APP) ousted, CEO Dov Charney, should be back and running the company or not, Telsey said that company needs a structural revamp and it’s hard to say whether the old management will be able to deliver the improved results or not.
“Hard thing to say, I mean it needs to see improved results and improved results are…. can it be lead under the old management team, it probably needs a bit of a different structure than that of one in the past,” thinks Telsey.
