HH Global announces the signing of an agreement to acquire Adare International

HH Global is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement on Monday 21 June 2021 to fully acquire Adare International from the private equity firm Endless LLP.

Adare is a British-headquartered provider of marketing services with strong procurement, creative and data offerings.

The combined global business will consist of more than 4,000 employees across more than 50 countries, generating approximately $2.1bn in annual sales as HH Global consolidates our leading position in the sector.

Consistent with the recent merger with InnerWorkings, the fundamental rationale for the deal is the strategic fit, in that the businesses are tremendously complementary.

Geographically, the acquisition enhances our international footprint and scope, particularly in Europe and Latin America. From a solutions perspective, Adare has an excellent procurement offering, as well as bringing expanded content and interactive service lines which we’re excited about taking to our clients.

The clients and brand portfolios fit well, allowing us to drive more aggregation and leverage in the marketplace and provide suppliers with meaningful opportunities to expand their business and utilise more capacity.

The excellence of Adare’s people and culture played a critical part in the decision to acquire and bring the best talent in the industry together.

It’s worth noting that Adare’s choice of HH Global as acquirer is a reflection of our reputation and status.

Group CEO of HH Global Mike Perez said “We are delighted to be bringing Adare International and HH Global together. We’re excited about the potential of our combined company. This comes because we’ll have increased geographical coverage, extended service lines, and enhanced purchasing power – and most critically because we’re bringing the best people in the industry together. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Adare’s clients and people to HH Global once the acquisition closes”.

CEO of Adare International Andrew Dutton said “We are delighted to be joining HH Global as it accelerates its growth journey. It is an incredible milestone for Adare and a testament to the outstanding team we have assembled and the rapidly growing client portfolio we have created. Our combination will provide our customers with enhanced services and our teams with expanded career opportunities. We are looking forward to working with our new colleagues as we begin the transition to deal completion”.

The transaction is subject to further legal processes, which are expected to take between 8-12 weeks.

Coalition of Texas Bookstores, National Booksellers, Authors and Publishers File Appellate Brief to Uphold Grant of Preliminary Injunction Barring Implementation of Texas Censorship Law

Monday a broad coalition including Texas bookstores, national booksellers, authors and publishers filed an appellate brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, requesting that it affirm the preliminary injunction of the “Reader Act” (formerly HB 900) granted by Judge Alan D. Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division. The Reader Act would require independent bookstores, national chain bookstores, large online book retailers, book publishers and other vendors to review and rate millions of books and other library materials according to sexual content if those books are sold to school libraries, and to do so according to vague labels dictated by the state without any process for judicial review. On September 18th of this year, Judge Albright issued a written opinion granting a preliminary injunction, ruling that the Act “likely violates the First Amendment by containing an unconstitutional prior restraint, compelled speech, and unconstitutional vagueness.” The State defendants filed an appeal later that day. Oral argument is scheduled for Wednesday, November 29th.
