The article states, while there has been no formal proposal regarding a potential private transaction, the Nordstrom family did file with the SEC to say that on a combined basis they own 51.8 million shares of the company’s common stock––about a 31.2% stake.

According to the article, the decision to go private comes at a time when malls are having difficulties attracting shoppers and that this is Nordstrom’s way of surviving the current retail climate.
