Comprehensive value creation and fundraising for a meat retailer and distributor.
The client’s business had been unprofitable and client was looking for value creation initiatives to turnaround the profitability of the business which would set up for a pre-IPO fundraising exercise.
For the value creation plan, SSTG worked alongside Strategy& and MAO teams to come up with a comprehensive plan of scale-up strategy and working capital optimisation. This value creation plan was incorporated into the client's business plan for the investor to underpin the fundraise.
Despite the challenging pandemic situation, SSTG was able to raise financing from a highly reputable and strategically synergistic investor for the client to fund its growth plans and anchor its upcoming IPO.
Raising long-term non-dilutive non-voting equity capital
Client is a growing platform of K-12 schools and is pursuing a buy and build strategy to scale up their platform. This led the client to actively seek capital solutions in the market to fund their growth strategy.
As this is a long-standing client that PwC has worked with for almost a decade, SSTG has a strong understanding of their strategic objectives. SSTG devised a funding strategy to optimise proceeds across multiple levels of financing within client’s group structure so as to fund their acquisitions and greenfield projects with flexibility.
SSTG also worked alongside the accounting advisory team to ensure the client’s objective of raising equity capital on a non-dilutive basis was met, and brought in various financiers for an optimal solution.
Optimised exit for a loss-making non-core asset.
The asset had been loss making for the past 5 years, and the situation had not improved despite further investments from the client and repositioning. This led the client to consider various exit options.
SSTG provided a high level assessment on possible exit options. Client subsequently decided to explore M&A than liquidation to maintain its reputation and relationship with customers. SSTG was then mandated to manage the sale process and after due diligence, the transaction was structured as an asset deal with intellectual properties and customers contracts being transferred.
SSTG provides integrated support across the deals cycle, and is able to identify key selling points and find the right buyer, bridging negotiation gaps to complete the deal.
