CBC Group is considering taking cosmetic pharmaceutical company Hugel Inc. private, less than a year after a consortium it led agreed to buy a controlling stake in the firm, according to people familiar with the matter.
CBC is in preliminary discussions with advisers to seek financing for a potential transaction, said the people, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. The Singapore-based buyout firm could relist Hugel in Hong Kong, but no final decision has been made, the people said.
