Expected net cash proceeds are about $305\u2013$310 million (roughly \u00a3225.1\u2013\u00a3228.8 million), earmarked to cut debt. Closing is targeted by the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and credit-agreement amendments.<\/p>\n<p>The carveout leaves Hain focused on North American brands including Celestial Seasonings and Earth\u2019s Best. New Hope Network\u2019s board-approved framing and StockTitan\u2019s 8-K math align on the gross ~$323.2 million \/ \u00a3238.5 million consideration and the net-proceeds band destined for leverage reduction.<\/p>\n<p>This is a signed PE carveout, not a rumor or a letter of intent. Mark the ~$323.2 million \/ \u00a3238.5 million gross, the ~$305\u2013$310 million net proceeds to debt, the named international brand roster, the close-by-year-end-2026-fiscal-Q2 target, the regulatory and credit-agreement-amendment conditions, and the North America focus remaining at Hain as sourced. Do not invent an EBITDA multiple, a financing package for Aurelius beyond the disclosed consideration, or a close date earlier than the stated window. The allocator object is a consumer-brands international carveout that recycles PE capital into debt paydown while concentrating the public seller on its North American core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HedgeCo.Net \u2014 On September 14, Hain Celestial agreed to sell its UK\/Ireland\/Europe international business to Aurelius affiliates for an estimated about $323.2 million (\u00a3238.5 milli\u2026 <a class=\"continue_reading_link btn btn-mini\" href=\"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/09\/2026\/aurelius-agreed-to-buy-hain-celestials-international-business-for-about-323-million.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":95806,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[12771,19493,19494,19491,19490,19492],"class_list":["post-95807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-private-equity","tag-aurelius","tag-consumer-brands","tag-ellas-kitchen","tag-hain","tag-hain-celestial","tag-international-carveout"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
