Kirkland & Ellis represented Hosen Capital in the closing of a single-asset continuation fund with over $200 million of aggregate commitments and the transfer of its existing investment in Kilcoy Global Foods (KGF), a global premium food provider, from Hosen’s USD Fund I to the new continuation fund and Hosen USD Fund III at a total purchase price of $280 million. The investors in the continuation fund include leading global secondary buyers and primary investors.
Since 2013, Hosen Capital has made a series of investments in KGF through Hosen USD Fund I and Hosen USD Fund II as well as co-investors. The transaction offers existing limited partners of Hosen USD Fund I an opportunity to realize investment returns and brings in new investors to support KGF’s future growth and strategic transformation.
