Bright Lights Acquisition Corp. (“Bright Lights” or “BLTS”)
(Nasdaq: BLTS), a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), and
MANSCAPED™ (“MANSCAPED” or the “Company”), a leading global
consumer lifestyle brand specializing in men’s grooming and
self-care, today announced that they are mutually terminating their
previously announced Business Combination Agreement, effective
immediately.
“Although we are disappointed that current market conditions
have made it unworkable to complete the merger with MANSCAPED, we
are huge fans of the company and wish Paul and the rest of the team
continued success,” said Mike Mahan, Chief Executive Officer of
Bright Lights.
“Since founding MANSCAPED, we have been intently focused on
building a global, omnichannel lifestyle brand that provides men
with premium self-grooming tools from head-to-toe,” said Paul Tran,
Chief Executive Officer of MANSCAPED. “We are confident in our
long-term growth strategy and are excited about the future for
MANSCAPED. Mike and the Bright Lights team have been great partners
throughout this process, and we wish them well moving forward.”

Combination Agreement will be provided in a Current Report on Form
