LOS ANGELES & SAN DIEGO -- 

Bright Lights Acquisition Corp. (“Bright Lights” or “BLTS”) (Nasdaq: BLTS), a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), and MANSCAPED™ (“MANSCAPED” or the “Company”), a leading global consumer lifestyle brand specializing in men’s grooming and self-care, today announced that they are mutually terminating their previously announced Business Combination Agreement, effective immediately.

“Although we are disappointed that current market conditions have made it unworkable to complete the merger with MANSCAPED, we are huge fans of the company and wish Paul and the rest of the team continued success,” said Mike Mahan, Chief Executive Officer of Bright Lights.

“Since founding MANSCAPED, we have been intently focused on building a global, omnichannel lifestyle brand that provides men with premium self-grooming tools from head-to-toe,” said Paul Tran, Chief Executive Officer of MANSCAPED. “We are confident in our long-term growth strategy and are excited about the future for MANSCAPED. Mike and the Bright Lights team have been great partners throughout this process, and we wish them well moving forward.”

Additional information about the termination of the Business Combination Agreement will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Bright Lights with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov.
