A tool manufacturer wanted to spin off a division that no longer fit its strategy. The management team of the division wanted to buy it, but had limited capital and no experience in structuring and financing the acquisition. Banks would only finance part of the purchase, and the valuation was uncertain.
Alpha Omega helped the buyers develop a 5 year budget and a capital structure that could be financed. The structure consisted of senior bank debt, junior subordinated debt, and equity capital. The Alpha Omega team also created a complete financing memorandum for prospective lenders and investors that detailed the transaction.
The Alpha Omega team contacted suitable lenders and investors, described the transaction, arranged company meetings, and obtained financing proposals. The Alpha Omega team determined the best proposal for debt and equity, and assisted in due diligence, legal documentation, and closing. The Alpha Omega team managed the process from beginning to end and minimized the impact of the transaction on the company and the management team.
The Alpha Omega team obtained financing at favorable terms from a community oriented commercial bank, two highly supportive institutional investors, one angel investor, and additional members of the management team. The management team successfully obtained ownership and control of their division, and the tool manufacturer was able to exit this business.
