Livingstone is pleased to announce the sale of Maurice Sporting Goods to Middleton Partners. The sale was consummated pursuant to \u00a7363 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Livingstone acted as the financial advisor to Maurice Sporting Goods.<\/strong><\/p>

Founded in 1923 in Chicago, IL, Maurice Sporting Goods has grown to become one of North America\u2019s largest distributors of outdoor sporting goods in the fishing, hunting, outdoor recreation, marine, and outdoor gift categories, serving mass retailers and independent dealers throughout the United States and other international markets. Maurice also operates a portfolio of sourcing and manufacturing companies including recognizable brands such as Shoreline Marine, South Bend Fishing Tackle, Rivers Edge Outdoor themed gift products, Danielson and Matzuo fishing products.<\/p>
