Ginger＆Smart的未来不确定私募股权销售后

Alquemie Group还将SurfsTitch，在线冲浪和滑冰零售商的剩余资产卖给了十年前的5亿美元估值，并将其销售给购买Ginger的同一个未公开的买家

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.

这家私募股权公司周一表示，Alquemie Group已将Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的剩余资产出售给了12月购买第一批资产的未公开买家。

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

资产的卖方是Alquemie集团，该集团于2020年从管理中收购了这些品牌。

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

买家是澳大利亚私募股权公司，在12月购买了两个品牌的多数股份。

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

当时，Alquemie表示将继续管理这两个品牌，并向私募股权公司出售其余资产。

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

这家PE公司说，Alquemie正在出售Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的剩余资产，总计1亿美元。

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

销售价格大大低于两个品牌在其顶峰上指挥的估值。

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

Surfstitch的价值为十年前的5亿美元，而Ginger＆Smart在2015年达到了10亿美元的估值。

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

近年来，这两个品牌都在挣扎，两个品牌都在2020年进入管理。

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

Alquemie从管理中购买了两个品牌，此后一直试图出售它们。

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

预计将在2024年第一季度完成Surfstitch和Ginger＆Smart的其余资产的销售。

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

买家计划合并两个品牌并创建一个多品牌时尚平台。

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

此举是因为私募股权公司越来越多地投资于消费部门。

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.

近年来，KKR＆Co和Bain Capital等公司一直在部署大量资金，以购买零售，食品和消费品包装商品等领域的公司。

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说，这些公司中的许多公司现在都在寻找退出投资，他们正在以巨大的保费在消费者公司出售股份。
