Case study

Sale of a plant manufacturer to its direct competitor

HMS advised the shareholders of a high-end manufacturer of production equipment on the sale to its significantly larger, direct competitor. The acquisition allowed the buyer to integrate the company's state-of-the-art technology portfolio, benefit from the company's customer and distribution network, increase its market share and achieve operational synergies.

During the due diligence, care had to be taken to ensure that if the negotiations failed, the adverse effects for the company to be sold were minimized as far as possible, i.e. the disclosure of confidential information such as technologies, details of customer contracts and sales relationships was handled with appropriate sensitivity, so that the integrity or the continued existence of the company to be sold was guaranteed at all times in the process - despite due diligence disclosures. This required disclosure of critical information cascaded along the due diligence and negotiation process.

HMS was able to successfully implement the transaction while maintaining the desired and necessary confidentiality and successfully implemented the acquisition to the satisfaction of the seller (and buyer).
