AURELIUS agrees to buy Hain international business

The estimated $323 million cash deal depends on a lender amendment and would leave Hain focused on North America.

AURELIUS agreed to acquire most of Hain Celestial's International food and beverage business for an estimated $323 million in cash. The sale includes Ella's Kitchen, Joya, Natumi, Hartley's, Linda McCartney Foods and several soup brands.

Hain expects net proceeds of $305 million to $310 million and plans to reduce debt. The deal requires an extension of Hain's credit agreement beyond December 22, 2026; AURELIUS may terminate if the amendment is not secured within 30 days of signing.
