Ginger＆Smart的未來不確定私募股權銷售後

Alquemie Group還將SurfsTitch，在線衝浪和滑冰零售商的剩餘資產賣給了十年前的5億美元估值，並將其銷售給購買Ginger的同一個未公開的買家

Alquemie Group has sold the remaining assets of SurfStitch and Ginger & Smart to the same undisclosed buyer that purchased the first batch of assets in December, the private equity firm said on Monday.

這家私募股權公司週一表示，Alquemie Group已將Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的剩餘資產出售給了12月購買第一批資產的未公開買家。

The seller of the assets is Alquemie Group, which acquired the brands out of administration in 2020.

資產的賣方是Alquemie集團，該集團於2020年從管理中收購了這些品牌。

The buyer, who is an Australian private equity firm, bought a majority stake in both brands in December.

買家是澳大利亞私募股權公司，在12月購買了兩個品牌的多數股份。

At the time, Alquemie said it would continue to manage both brands and sell remaining assets to the private equity firm.

當時，Alquemie表示將繼續管理這兩個品牌，並向私募股權公司出售其餘資產。

Alquemie is selling the remaining assets of SurfStitch and Ginger & Smart for a total of $100 million, the PE firm said.

這家PE公司說，Alquemie正在出售Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的剩餘資產，總計1億美元。

The sale price is significantly lower than the valuations that both brands commanded at their peak.

銷售價格大大低於兩個品牌在其頂峰上指揮的估值。

SurfStitch was valued at $500 million a decade ago, while Ginger & Smart reached a $1 billion valuation in 2015.

Surfstitch的價值為十年前的5億美元，而Ginger＆Smart在2015年達到了10億美元的估值。

Both brands have struggled in recent years and both brands went into administration in 2020.

近年來，這兩個品牌都在掙扎，兩個品牌都在2020年進入管理。

Alquemie bought both brands out of administration and has been trying to sell them since.

Alquemie從管理中購買了兩個品牌，此後一直試圖出售它們。

The sale of the remaining assets of SurfStitch and Ginger & Smart is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

預計將在2024年第一季度完成Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的其餘資產的銷售。

The buyer is planning to merge both brands and create a multi-brand fashion platform.

買家計劃合併兩個品牌並創建一個多品牌時尚平台。

The move comes as private equity firms are increasingly investing in the consumer sector.

此舉是因為私募股權公司越來越多地投資於消費部門。

Firms such as KKR & Co and Bain Capital have been deploying large sums of money in recent years to buy up companies in sectors such as retail, food and consumer packaged goods.

近年來，KKR＆Co和Bain Capital等公司一直在部署大量資金，以購買零售，食品和消費品包裝商品等領域的公司。

Many of these firms are now looking for an exit from their investments, and they are selling their stakes in consumer companies at huge premiums, sources familiar with the matter have said.

熟悉此事的消息人士說，這些公司中的許多公司現在都在尋找退出投資，他們正在以巨大的保費在消費者公司出售股份。
