M&A 2019 Annual Review

MAIN POST PARTNERS Morrison & Foerster advised San Francisco-based private equity firm Main Post Partners in several transactions across different consumer sectors in 2019. Main Post focuses on investing in proven growth companies across the consumer value chain. We advised Main Post in its acquisition of SUGARED + BRONZED, the nation’s largest sugaring and sunless tanning destination. SUGARED + BRONZED is a luxury beauty services company that focuses on providing premium experiences in high-quality and efficient sugaring, a specialized form of hair removal that uses a paste consisting of sugar, lemon and water, and custom airbrush tanning at an affordable price point. Main Post’s investment will be used to support new product growth, location expansion and strategic marketing opportunities to further drive awareness of SUGARED + BRONZED’s specialized services. We also represented Main Post and its portfolio company, Fortis Solutions Group, which develops printing, packaging and labeling solutions for consumer packaged goods companies, in connection with Fortis’ acquisition of Infinite Packaging Group, Inc., and we advised Main Post on its acquisition of The Happy Planner, a creative lifestyle brand of organizational and planning systems that has been an innovator within the arts and crafts industry for over 20 years. “WE FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON PARTNERING WITH HIGHLY DISRUPTIVE CONSUMER BRANDS.” JEFF MILLS, MANAGING PARTNER, MAIN POST PARTNERS 13 MORRISON & FOERSTER 2019 M&A ANNUAL REVIEW
