Structure and manage a transaction process for an international health ingredients company.
The company developed, manufactured and distributed specialized and innovative botanical ingredients for the dietary supplement and functional food markets in Western Europe and North America. It had strong brands and owned both the licenses and patents that effectively promoted and protected the sale of these clinically proven natural health ingredients. After a strategic realignment, the company's shareholders decided to break up the business and sell the operating companies.
How to dispose of the operating companies in the best possible way?
We structured the transaction, analyzed the company and its operations, valued the company, produced an information memorandum, identified potential buyers, set up an electronic data room, negotiated with potential buyers and completed the transaction process.
We sold two companies through a management buyout and a third company to a strategic party through a controlled auction.
