The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed in the first quarter. The ice cream maker and marketer said it will pay $59 million for the business.

CoolBrands, which has grown dramatically in recent years, due in part to an aggressive acquisition strategy, said last month that its first quarter revenues declined 3.3% to $100.5 million from $103.9 million for the same quarter a year earlier. This decline was due to the impact of lower margins.
