Jakks Pacific has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of leading Halloween costume and décor company Disguise, Inc. and a related Hong Kong company, both subsidiaries of
France-based César S.A. This newest acquisition will firmly position Jakks in the Halloween industry and further bolster its industry-leading position in the children's dress-up category, the
company says.
The acquisition is subject to closing conditions, including approval by César's secured creditors, and is expected to be completed in December.--Nina Lentini
