Representative Acquisition Engagement

AEG was retained by an international public company. Our client was a manufacturer and distributor of fasteners, fittings, and other industrial and automotive products. The client required assistance in the acquisition of a complementary but under-performing business that potentially would provide product line extensions and expanded distribution footprint through wholesale stores.

AEG's services included due diligence, strategic planning and assessment of the target business. In addition to providing a valuation of the target, AEG evaluated the impact of the potential acquisition on the acquiror's stock price.

Based on AEG's work, our client agreed this was not a value-added acquisition and elected not to pursue it.
