MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Austal uses a combination of its professionals' transaction expertise along with our extensive research capabilities and access to a wide range of investors to provide both buy-side and sell-side services as part of its M&A advisory offering. Austal focuses on small to mid size private and publicly traded companies in India and looks at cross border opportunities especially between Asia and the United States.

We implement a customized and comprehensive process intended to generate maximum value for shareholders.

Exclusive Sale Engagements

Every sale engagement is unique and depends on the specific needs and objectives of our clients. Austal conducts its sales process to match with a client's time frame and expectations, the ongoing management of the existing business as well as strategic considerations and market factors.

Acquisition Advisory

By taking a comprehensive, long-term view of our clients' acquisition initiatives, Austal focuses on generating the best return for the long term (which may include not doing a transaction). We believe this sets us apart from other advisors. We help identify relevant acquisition criteria and establish a systematic process to identify, research, and prioritize potential targets.

Corporate Divestitures

Given the complexities of corporate divestitures, finding the right buyer is the most challenging and critical aspect of these transactions. Austal will establish a framework that preserves confidentiality while maximizing value and other transaction attributes that are important to the shareholders of the parent company.

Management Buyouts

Austal can advise management teams seeking to acquire an operating entity from its owners, and owners seeking to sell an operation to its managers. In addition to structuring and negotiating transactions that meets the objectives of both managers and owners, Austal can assist management teams in securing the appropriate external financing to consummate a transaction. We also provide valuation services that provide owners with the assurance that they are receiving a fair and competitive value for their business.

Cross Border Transactions

Today, middle market companies are operating in a global economy. We have strategic relationships with consulting firms in the United States, India and the Far East, which provide our clients with ready access to acquisition targets and merger partners in any of these geographic areas.
