Context

An ownership transition to document to competitive process standards

Groupe Betem, a multidisciplinary engineering consultancy with approximately €55m of revenue, was preparing the transition of its ownership: an MBO backed by a minority investment from Parquest Capital. The transaction required complete investor materials - an Information Memorandum, then a Management Presentation - within a tight process timeline and without drawing further on internal teams.

Engagement

What was produced

  • Framing of the equity story with the CFO: messages, supporting evidence and information hierarchy
  • Production of the full Information Memorandum - market, activities, organisation, subsidiaries and financials
  • Production of the Management Presentation for phase 2 investor meetings
  • Direct iterations with the CFO and the M&A advisor through to the distributed versions
Outcome

Materials used in a live process, through to closing

The materials supported the process that led to Parquest Capital's investment in Groupe Betem - public announcement.

"[…] The final document is not only complete and well structured, it also reflects a thorough understanding of our needs and objectives."
