Copperweld Corporation, based in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , is a specialty metals fabricator and a wholly owned subsidiary of Imetal SA of France .

OEM Capital was asked by Metallon Engineered Materials Corp.’s principal investors, the Aegis Venture Funds and Landmark Partners, Inc., to assist in securing a buyer and negotiating the transaction in order that the shareholders could liquidate their holdings. From time to time they had been approached by potential acquirers, including management. However, they now wished to maximize shareholder value and retained us to manage a private sale with competitive bidding and assist in the negotiations.

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 several interested parties and a selected group met with management and received a detailed presentation of the business.

Our success with Metallon illustrates that, whether a business is healthy 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.

Astrosystems, Inc.

Astrosystems, Inc., a publicly held company based in Lake Success, New York, is listed on NASDAQ. It supplies AC frequency sources, power converters, uninterruptible power supplies, motion sensors and control devices as well as power supplies to industrial and defense oriented customers.

OEM Capital was asked to assist Astrosystems, Inc. in selling all of its operating businesses prior to a contemplated shareholder distribution. Since each of our client’s three businesses addressed distinct markets, we developed a sales program to find synergistic buyers for each business in order to maximize shareholder value.

OEM Capital worked closely with management to prepare detailed historical and budgetary financial data showing the performance of each product line and tying the results to the company’s audited financial statements. Although the historical performance and fortunes of each business were very different, we knew offering them as product lines would make them attractive to the largest number of bidders.

Our presentations elicited several offers for each business, with a few of the bidders indicating interest in more than one. Since we wished to coordinate the sale of the three businesses so as to minimize the expense to Astrosystems, Inc., it was necessary to assess not only the attractiveness of each offer but the flexibility of each bidder. As a result of our program, our client was able to conclude the divestitures in a timely manner, realize a premium price over book value and allow a large number of its employees to be hired by the purchasers.

Our success with Astrosystems, Inc. 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.
