NewPoint’s Role

NewPoint was engaged as exclusive financial advisor to sell the Company. The controlling shareholder specified a narrow group of potential purchasers he wanted to approach, which included the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the only other shareholder in the business.

Transaction Snapshot

NewPoint executed a highly confidential sale process which ultimately resulted in the sale of the business to management and its strategic partner (Waterford Industries - the licensee for Weir Golf Inc. and owner of the Grace Lane brand). A key value-add of NewPoint was to provide assurance to the selling shareholder that he was receiving a fair price for the business. This is often difficult to determine when selling to a non-arms length party if the market has not been widely canvassed.
