Company active in the dairy industry

Issue:

The Company, a producer of cooling tanks for the dairy industry, is experiencing severe financial difficulties. The shareholder, a private equity firm, decided to sell the Company through a distressed M&A process to safeguard its future, albeit in a revised form. Beaufort was engaged to facilitate and oversee this process. Although an Information Memorandum (IM) was prepared and potential interested parties were approached, the M&A process ultimately did not result in a successful transaction.

Solution:

Beaufort professionally managed the distressed M&A process by drafting a detailed Information Memorandum (IM), identifying and actively approaching potential interested parties, and supporting the entire sales process. Despite the absence of a completed transaction, Beaufort gained valuable insights into market dynamics and the interest profiles of potential buyers. These insights can serve as the foundation for future restructuring efforts or alternative strategies to ensure the continuity of the Company. Beaufort remains available to provide further advice and support the Company in taking the next steps toward financial stability and strategic repositioning.
