Mergers, Acquisitions
and Divestitures

We provide advisory and investment banking services on buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions such as mergers, sales, acquisitions, leveraged buy-outs, spin-offs, and divestitures to various local and regional companies, government agencies and private investors. These M&A transactions can range from the sale or purchase of a business division, a subsidiary, a portion of a company’s assets, or only control of a company. We also offer financial advisory services, such as valuation reports and fairness opinions needed for completion of M&A transactions.

Corporate Restructuring

In collaboration with auditors and legal advisors, we give our clients hands-on assistance in reorganizing their legal, ownership, operational and other structures of a company with the goal of improving its liquidity, financial condition, or operating performance. This also covers preparation for a possible change in ownership or the entry of investors. As a company, we also provide access to the capital markets, financing, and the provision of restructuring advice.

Project Finance

We bring together infrastructure and industrial companies and projects in need of long- term financing, with syndicates of equity investors and debt funders. Unlike traditional balance sheet-based financing, our Project Financing service involves capital-intensive projects that we evaluate based on estimated future cash flows. Our Investment Banking group banks on its experience and network to provide innovative transaction structures, loan syndication, and assistance in negotiation and transaction execution.
