Corporate Divestitures
The divestiture of non-core businesses differs significantly from other M&A transactions and requires financial advisers skilled in the unique issues surrounding such transactions, including:
- Motivating and focusing local management to maintain business performance throughout the process
- Providing significant assistance to the corporate divestiture candidate to prepare relevant and appropriate information for the proposed transaction
- Assessing the stand alone value and operational stability of potential divestitures:
- – Product lines and transfer pricing
- – Financial statements - division or subsidiary
- – Separation issues and group resources (both commercial and operational considerations)
- – Potential need to augment current
management team
