CVC Capital Partners takes co-control of BAPE
I.T delists from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. BAPE is split off; CVC Capital Partners (the same PE firm that later backs Dr. Martens' and Breitling's IPOs) acquires a 50% stake alongside the Sham family. The brand's capital-markets clock starts ticking.
