Sept 4 (Reuters) - Nordstrom's JWN.N founding family
has made a bid to take the department store chain private by
offering $23 per share in cash for the stake they do not already
own, a filing showed on Wednesay.
The company's board had in April formed a special committee
of independent directors to evaluate any proposal.
A group led by Erik and Peter Nordstrom sent a non-binding
letter to the committee proposing a transaction whereby they
would form a new entity to buy the department store chain.
