Give & Go adds on with close of sale to Thomas H. Lee
Give & Go Prepared Foods Corp, formerly a portfolio company of OMERS Private Equity (OPE), has closed its sale to Thomas H. Lee Partners, a U.S. private equity firm. The financial terms of the deal, announced in April, were not released; however, a recent report by Reuters put the value at close to US$800 million. Concurrent with the sale to Thomas H. Lee, Give & Go, a Canadian maker of baked goods, acquired Create-a-Treat Ltd and NAFTA Foods and Packaging Inc. The Brampton, Ontario-based companies make edible craft products for celebrations and holidays. They will form a new Give & Go division called Create-a-Treat. OPE acquired Give & Go in December 2007.
