A McGuireWoods team guided Kent Outdoors, a portfolio of leading brands in watersports and marine safety, in its sale to PRADCO Outdoor Brands.
Established in 1959, Kent Outdoors serves watersports participants through brands including HO Sports, Hyperlite, BOTE, O’Brien, Connelly, Liquid Force, Onyx, Full Throttle, Kent Safety Products, Aquaglide, FatSac, Barefoot International and Seipel Marine. PRADCO, a subsidiary of privately held, family-owned EBSCO Industries, operates leading hunting and fishing brands.
Partners Mark Freedlander and Timothy Malloy led the cross-practice McGuireWoods team representing Kent Outdoors, along with associate Jacob Broadway. Partners Yuan-Ying Hsu and Casey Nelson and associate Joseph Steinbronn advised on financing matters.
“We were proud to assist Kent Outdoors in this important transaction, which positions the company for future growth as it begins a new chapter with PRADCO,” Freedlander said.
