HydraFacial and Vesper Healthcare Announce Closing of Business Combination, Combined Company Will be Known as The Beauty Health Company
The Beauty Health Company will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker SKIN
Miami Beach, Fla. and Long Beach, Calif., May 5, 2021 Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp (Vesper Healthcare), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and The HydraFacial® Company (HydraFacial), a global category-creating beauty health company, today announced the closing of their previously announced business combination. The combined company will be known as The Beauty Health Company (BeautyHealth or the Company). The business combination was approved by Vesper Healthcares stockholders on April 29, 2021, with approximately 96% of the votes cast in favor of the transaction. Prior to the business combination, HydraFacial was owned by two leading healthcare industry private equity firms, Linden Capital Partners (Linden), who will continue to be the largest shareholder in the Company, and DW Healthcare Partners IV, LP (DW Healthcare Partners), who will continue to have a significant stake in the Company. As a result of the business combination, HydraFacial is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BeautyHealth. Beginning May 6, 2021, BeautyHealths shares will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol SKIN.
BeautyHealth will be led by HydraFacials senior management team, including Chief Executive Officer Clint Carnell and Chief Financial Officer Liyuan Woo. Brent Saunders, CEO and co-founder of Vesper Healthcare, will serve as Executive Chairman.
The combined company will leverage the deep expertise of its management team to expand and accelerate growth in the emerging category of beauty health. The enhanced capital structure will allow BeautyHealth to make appropriate investments in innovation, geographic expansion, and important strategic acquisitions.
Clint Carnell, BeautyHealth CEO, stated: Today marks an important milestone and an exciting moment for our Company as we enter the public markets. With HydraFacial, we transformed into a category-creating beauty health company. As BeautyHealth, we intend to continue our global expansion and bring additional innovative products to market. The added resources from this transaction will allow us to expand HydraFacials footprint in the large and growing beauty health category, as well as drive growth in the U.S. and internationally. Our accomplished team has been further strengthened by the combination with the Vesper Healthcare team, and we could not be more pleased to partner with Brent. I look forward to our next chapter and expect this combination will provide us with the resources and expertise to deliver sustained long-term growth.
We are pleased to close the business combination with HydraFacial and unveil the formation of The Beauty Health Company, said Brent Saunders, BeautyHealth Executive Chairman. HydraFacial is an impressive category-creating product in an attractive and growing market and provides the perfect platform to achieve our goal of building a premier company in beauty health. We anticipate more opportunities ahead and are excited about the potential to create a valuable, industry-leading, global company in beauty health.
Brian Miller, Managing Partner at Linden, Kam Shah, Partner at Linden, and Doug Schillinger, Managing Director at DW Healthcare Partners, added, We are proud of the growth HydraFacial has achieved since we acquired the company in 2016, and we are excited to participate in the newly formed BeautyHealths future success.
