Natura Agrees to Sell Avon International to Regent Affiliate for £1

The symbolic-price deal offloads a loss-making unit to de‑risk the group ahead of an expected early‑2026 closing.

Overview

  • Natura will receive a nominal £1 at closing plus potential earn-outs and contingent payments capped at £60 million based on future performance and liquidity events.
  • Before completion, Natura will convert most intercompany loans to Avon International into equity and provide a secured credit line of up to US$25 million with a five‑year tenor.
  • The sale excludes the Avon brand and operations in Latin America, and it does not cover the Russian market, with Natura retaining related economic rights and intellectual property.
  • Completion remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, with closing currently expected in the first quarter of 2026.
  • Natura’s shares jumped more than 10% on Brazil’s B3 after the announcement, reflecting investor approval of the portfolio simplification.
