NewPoint’s Role

NewPoint was engaged by the management team to assess the feasibility of an MBO, and then subsequently to develop an acquisition strategy, price range and capital structure. NewPoint led the negotiations with the Japan-based vendor and lenders.

Transaction Snapshot

The owner of Dominion Colour, a Japanese corporation, had determined that it was time to divest its North American subsidiary. The preferred buyer was management as it had shown loyalty to the parent company over many years. NewPoint’s value add was to structure and negotiate a transaction that sufficiently met the needs of the vendor to avoid a more thorough auction of the business.
