TPG Inc. exited most of its stake in Anastasia Beverly Hills as part of a debt restructuring, largely wiping out the private equity firm’s $600 million investment in the cosmetics company, according to people familiar with the matter.

TPG purchased about 38% of the beauty company from its founders in 2018, in a deal that was financed with a combination of debt taken on by Anastasia and preferred shares bought by TPG.
