CION Investment Corporation disclosed that its portfolio company David’s Bridal, Inc. and K&F Growth Acquisition Corp. II entered a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed combination that would separate Pearl, now a David’s Bridal division, as a standalone public company. Pearl would own David’s Bridal’s brand and intellectual property; David’s Bridal is expected to remain a material shareholder, and the announcement says its stores will continue operating as usual.
The LOI values Pearl at approximately $350 million in pro forma enterprise value, or approximately 9.3 times projected 2027 EBITDA, assuming no redemptions by K&F shareholders. It contemplates a $75 million PIPE, subject to upsize; CION has proposed a $25 million anchor investment, subject to definitive documentation. Pearl management’s unaudited projections call for greater than 30% EBITDA margins in 2026 and 2027 revenue growth of more than 100% to in excess of $85 million, with positive free cash flow in both years. The parties anticipate closing in the first half of 2027, subject to due diligence, a definitive agreement, board and shareholder approvals, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions; they give no assurance the transaction will be completed.
