BWX says CEO, Bain wrap up due diligence

A consortium comprising of Bain Capital and two top executives of BWX have completed due diligence for the buyout of the skin and hair care group.

Skin and hair care group BWX has said two of its senior executives and private equity firm Bain Capital, who together made a $800 million takeover offer for the company, have completed due diligence but need until mid-September to complete work on the offer.

An independent BWX board committee, which undertook a strategic review after the offer, said it would continue talks with the Bain consortium to reach an acceptable binding offer.

BWX, a marketer of branded skin and hair care products, received the unsolicited offer in May from Chief Executive John Humble, Finance Director Aaron Finlay and Bain Capital, for $6.60 per share, valuing the company at $803 million.
