Breakwater Exits Growth Capital Investment in Exhale Enterprises

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, 2017-Oct-23 — /EPR Network/ — Breakwater Investment Management, LLC (“Breakwater”) is pleased to announce the recent successful exit of its growth capital investment in Exhale Enterprises (“exhale”), a New York-based wellbeing brand that addresses mind and body through spa and fitness with 26 premium locations throughout the U.S. and Caribbean. Breakwater provided exhale multiple tranches of growth capital beginning in December 2012 through its direct lending vehicle, the Breakwater Credit Opportunities Fund, LP. The company’s private equity sponsor, Brentwood Associates, recently sold exhale to an affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, resulting in a full realization of Breakwater’s investment.

Saif Mansour, Managing Partner at Breakwater, commented: “We are delighted to have partnered with exhale and Brentwood Associates in supporting the company’s expansion over the last five years. We expect exhale to continue its strong performance now that it is affiliated with Hyatt.”

Exhale’s CEO Annbeth Eschbach added: “Alongside Brentwood Associates, Breakwater has been a thoughtful long-term partner and advisor, and we are grateful for the team’s many years of friendship and guidance.”
