ORLANDO, FL, Dec. 14,
2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Tupperware Brands Corporation (TUP)
and Youngevity International, Inc. (YGYI)
today announced they have reached an agreement whereby Tupperware Brands will
sell Beauticontrol assets to Youngevity, a leading omni-direct lifestyle
company. As part of the deal, Youngevity will integrate Beauticontrol’s sales
force into its company, marketing Beauticontrol branded products, as well as
the other brands in Youngevity’s extensive product portfolio. Youngevity will
also market Beauticontrol branded products to its existing member base.
Tupperware will earn a royalty based on future sales of the Beauticontrol
sales force, and sales of the Beauticontrol product line by the existing
Youngevity members.
“We couldn’t be more
pleased to reach this agreement with Youngevity. We feel Youngevity’s 20
year history and impressive track record make them the ideal company to welcome
Beauticontrol into its family of brands. The agreement will allow
Beauticontrol’s sales force to again be able to purchase many of the products
that they and their customers love. As part of Youngevity, the
Beauticontrol product line will have an even wider audience through its
existing members and by joining Youngevity, the Beauticontrol sales force
members will be able to enjoy a terrific direct selling earning
opportunity. While likely to be modest in any particular year, monetizing
these Beauticontrol assets is a win for Tupperware Brand’s shareholders,” said
Rick Goings, Chairman and CEO of Tupperware Brands.
“We’re thrilled and
proud to enter into an agreement with Tupperware who has built an iconic and
impressive global brand and company. We look forward to welcoming the
sales force of Beauticontrol and expanding the innovative product development
that Beauticontrol has become known for over the last 27 years,” said Steve
Wallach, CEO and Chairman of Youngevity.
