CPC Europe Fund IV Announces Agreement to Acquire Bumble Bee Foods

Carson Private Capital Europe Fund IV, LP has announced its participation in Lion Capital's agreement to acquire 100% of Bumble Bee Foods in a transaction scheduled to close in December 2010.

Founded in 1897, Bumble Bee Foods is a leading supplier of shelf-stable seafood and one of North America's best-known consumer packaged goods companies.

Bumble Bee has leadership positions in virtually every segment of the $2.8 billion North American shelf-stable seafood category and is sold at every major U.S. and Canadian food retailer and distributor. Its iconic brands Bumble Bee (U.S.) and Clover Leaf (Canada) have 90% consumer awareness levels.

Bumble Bee has achieved an attractive record of consistent revenue growth and superior operating margins, even through economic downturns, through an unwavering focus on product quality, innovation and operational excellence.

This transaction represents the second platform investment for CPC Europe Fund IV.
