It is pertinent to note that the entire value of the transaction is $2.8 billion. ELC will shell out roughly $2.3 billion for the transaction, net of a $250 million payment from Marcolin S.p.A. (“Marcolin”). Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:EL)  intends to fund this deal with a mix of cash, debt, and $300 million in deferred payments to the sellers, which will become payable in July 2025.
