Sentinel to reacquire Canadian yarn company for $57m

In the latest example of a private equity firm acquiring a Canadian income trust following a change to Canada's tax policy, Sentinel will pay $57 million to reacquire yarn company Spinrite.

US private equity firm Sentinel Capital Partners will acquire Spinrite Income Fund, the largest producer and marketer of craft yarn in North America, in a $57 million (€39 million) cash transaction. The debt portion of the deal is $35 million.

The yarn company was originally acquired by Sentinel in early 2004 for approximately $80 million, according to public filings.
