WM Partners · Published Jan 12, 2021
The January 12, 2021 Jade Leaf release explicitly identifies Great Lakes as a collagen brand acquired by HPH II in 2020. It corroborates completion after the August 2020 agreement without establishing an exact closing day.

WM Partners · Published Jul 2, 2019
The July 2, 2019 release explicitly identifies HPH II Investments Master Fund, LP and its related entities as a private equity fund managed by WM Partners, and identifies WM Partners, LP in the firm description. This corroborates the sponsor-manager relationship; the Ultima transaction is a separate event.
