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.”
- Randy Nelson, CEO and Founder, VFS Fire & Security
