NewPoint’s Role

NewPoint was responsible for price and payment terms negotiation, as well as developing the appropriate capital structure and raising the necessary financing from VentureLink Funds to fund the acquisition.

Transaction Snapshot

Koprash was acquired with the intention of combining it with IRG to enable the realization of significant synergies. The purchasers brought to Koprash a sophisticated approach to growth that formerly was not present. A key element of the transaction was to develop a purchase price structure which continues to motivate the former owners who remain in key management positions.
