Business
Whole Earth Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: FREE) operates as a global food company focused on plant-based sweeteners, flavor enhancers, and related consumer products, serving wellness-oriented consumers through its Branded CPG and Flavors & Ingredients segments; the Branded CPG segment offers zero-calorie, low-calorie, organic, non-GMO, no-sugar-added, and plant-based sweeteners including stevia, monk fruit, honey, agave, baking mixes, and baking chocolate under brands such as Whole Earth, Pure Via, Wholesome, Swerve, Canderel, and Equal, while the Flavors & Ingredients segment provides licorice-based products for applications in food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and tobacco. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company distributes its portfolio in over 100 countries via manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe, sales offices in regions including Asia-Pacific, and channels encompassing food retail, mass merchandising, pharmacy, and foodservice. In August 2024, Whole Earth Brands was acquired by Sweet Oak, an affiliate involving Sababa Holdings FREE, LLC, Rhône, and Mariposa Capital, LLC, with the combined entity rebranded as Sweet Oak and supported by an $862 million senior secured financing led by Silver Point Finance, following a definitive agreement signed in February 2024 and shareholder approval thereafter; this transaction delisted the company's shares from NASDAQ and integrated operations with Sweet Oak's existing portfolio including Royal Oak Enterprises.
