OEM Capital was asked to assist Stanton Magnetics, Inc. and Diamagnetics, Inc., an affiliated company but with different ownership, in selling their operating businesses. Since the businesses were related, we developed a sales program to find and secure a synergistic buyer for the both businesses in order to maximize shareholder value.
OEM Capital worked closely with the owners and management to groom the companies for sale.
We recommended an organizational realignment, assisted in the preparation of budgets and financial projections. We recast detailed historical and budgetary financial data showing the performance of each product line and tying the results to each company’s financial statements.
Our marketing program elicited several offers and three of the more attractive bidders were invited to meet with management. As a result of our involvement, our clients were able to conclude the sales simultaneously in a timely manner, realize a premium cash flow multiple and have all employees hired by the purchaser.
Our success with Stanton Magnetics, Inc. and Diamagnetics, Inc. illustrates that, whether a business is healthy, underperforming or distressed, superior valuations can be realized for the selling shareholders by a well executed sales approach by merger and acquisition professionals who are knowledgeable about the industry and the intentions of its participants.
