Mergers, acquisitions and divestments
Acacia Partners provides advice in relation to a full range of M&A transactions, including public company and private treaty transactions. Acacia personnel have decades of transaction experience across a broad range of industries and geographies, including North America and Europe.
We provide end-to-end advice on and management of both sell-side and buy-side transactions, as well as joint-ventures, partnerships, and strategic alliances. We are also well positioned to assist clients in relation to defence strategies and mandates.
Our advice includes approach and negotiation strategy, deal structuring, valuation, due diligence and stakeholder engagement. We tailor our advice to recognise the unique attributes of each transaction and the parties involved. Our approach to transaction management is very “hands-on” and we work closely with our clients to find solutions, resolve issues and, ultimately, ensure successful completion of transactions.
Capital raisings
The Acacia Partners team has substantial experience in raising equity, hybrid and debt capital from institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and banks. Amongst our peers we believe we are distinguished by our deep structuring capability and experience as well as by the trust that our network of investor relationships has in our team – these distinguishing features underpin our unique ability to structure, negotiate and deliver a wide range of capital raising solutions for our clients, including:
- Private equity raisings
- Initial public offerings and follow-on offers
- Private and public debt offers
- Bank finance
Capital management
Even in substantial public companies, funding mix can often end up an outcome of a reactive approach. We believe capital management strategy should be proactive and contemplate both expected and unexpected potentialities – and should provide clients with a road map not only to refine their current capital structure, but also to deal with uncertain future events. We aim to develop long term funding strategies that provide the most cost-effective capital structure which is also sufficiently durable to protect stakeholders in times of stress.
Acacia Partners has deep experience in implementing capital structure management plans, which may involve a range of transactions, from new equity or debt issuance to debt restructuring to debt and equity buybacks.
