OEM Capital was asked by Gabriel Electronics Incorporated with the support of Key Corporate Capital, Inc., its principal lender, to assist the company in managing the sale of its business during the severe telecommunications industry recession.
The company required a strategic partner with the resources to effectively exploit its proprietary, state-of-the-art technology. Key to a successful engagement was finding and closing a transaction within the shortest possible time.
OEM Capital worked closely with management to prepare a selling memorandum while developing a marketing program aimed at soliciting interest from strategic acquirers, time being of the essence. Using our network of international affiliates, this program elicited a number of interested parties.
As a result of our involvement, Gabriel Electronics Incorporated was able to conclude a transaction within the time frame required by its lenders.
Our success with Gabriel Electronics Incorporated illustrates that , whether a business is healthy, under performing or distressed, superior valuations can be realized for the selling shareholders by a well-executed approach to a sale or divestiture by merger and acquisition professionals who are knowledgeable about the industry and the intentions of its participants.
