Mergers & Acquisitions

Stakeholders' ideal exit strategy – a prompt sale to the right buyers with the potential to be financed through Postern's associated companies

Companies that consistently under-perform should be disposed-of, either in whole or in part, via an established specialist in mergers and acquisitions, able to guarantee the necessary capital in advance of restoring viability through long experience of successful turnaround management.

Fast hands-on management where it matters
Stakeholders may want simply to get a loss-maker off their hands. Or they may be willing to sacrifice some of their shares, for the prospect of owning a part-share in a bigger and more prosperous entity. Either way, Postern is ideally positioned to manage the situation, through its long-established record in corporate mergers, acquisitions, turnaround, restructuring and re-financing. Our team are poised to make the right decisions promptly and professionally, with due diligence completed within days and in full confidentiality, and start restoring share-value without delay.

Examples of our successful acquisitions extend to many subsidiaries of major parent companies worldwide, and cover many different industry sectors.

Smooth liaison with banks and asset-based lenders
For any banker concerned in the situation, the involvement of Postern in the refinancing adds an important degree of assurance and credibility. Our associated debt advisory firm, Litmus Advisory, has regularly raised funds of up to £100 million for acquisitions, re-financings or turnaround projects, delivering certainty of outcome for transactions in the fast-changing Asset-based Lending market. By understanding collateral risk assessments and appropriate pricing applications, they are able to achieve the best structure and commercial terms for the Bank's clients.

Postern has a close working relationship with Litmus Advisory, a leading debt advisory firm focused on delivering certainty of outcome for transactions in the Asset Based Lending market. Postern and Litmus Advisory combine in situations where specific operational expertise is required to assist in the re-financing process.
