555 Capital’s Solution

555's efforts included preparing developing PPM marketing materials, organizing diligence information and approaching a range of potential buyers, including independent corporations as well as private equity backed organizations. Ultimately, an independent corporate buyer with complementary, but not competitive, services and adjacent geographic markets was selected to complete the successful transaction.

"Andre and his team at 555 Capital Advisors shared their knowledge and understanding in keeping both myself and staff very comfortable of all the moving parts. The professionalism of maintaining an even keel and moving both sides to achieve a favorable result to each was second to none."

555 Capital’s Solution

Through 555’s efforts the final transaction terms included material increases in the economic value and improvements to other transaction terms from the original letter of intent.  The incremental value associated with the positive deal term changes far exceeded the fees 555 Capital earned.

"The 555 team worked relentlessly though a very difficult process. Not only did I get the deal I wanted, but they helped manage my emotions and took on the brunt of the difficult discussions with the buyer. Andre was instrumental in finding creative ways to structure the deal that benefited me greatly.”
