In January 2019, the fashion brand signed a comprehensive restructuring support agreement with its key stakeholders, including equity sponsors Apax Partners and Charlesbank Capital Partners, in an effort to reduce the debt.

Now that the company has emerged from bankruptcy, affiliates of Apax Partners and Charlesbank Capital Partners will now acquire minority stakes for their advisory services to the reorganised company.

The Citizens Bank will also offer a new asset-based loan to the company.

“FULLBEAUTY has highly relevant brands and our new owners share our confidence in the power and potential of those brands.

“The market for plus-size apparel is growing faster than the apparel market overall, and FULLBEAUTY in particular benefits from our position at the high end of the size curve, as well as our ability to drive strong results without the burden of brick and mortar retail stores.”
