MANAGEMENT ACQUISITION SEMINARS

©1998 Stephen N. Elias and Associates

CLIENTS SEEM TO AGREE THAT THEIR MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
COULD USE SOME ADDITIONAL HELP IN M&A MATTERS

We have been highly gratified by the response to our new offering to assist management and key staff in performing their functions more efficiently within the environment of a planned, proposed, or pending transaction.

Each year, large numbers of acquisitions and dispositions are completed successfully, only to fail within a short time after closing the transaction. Such failures are illustrated by symptoms ranging from the departures of disenchanted CEOs, to disposition or closure of acquired entities. The great majority of these failures can unquestionably be prevented by properly planning and executing transactions and by making absolutely certain that complete and well organized plans have been put in place for the transitional phase.

MANAGEMENT ACQUISITION SEMINARS are not intended to teach current or potential M&A people their craft. The seminars are designed to assist management and key staff individuals to perform their functions more efficiently within the environment of a planned, proposed, or pending transaction. Equally important, they can assist company personnel in managing the transition phase after a transaction has been completed.

WHAT DO THE SEMINARS COVER?

Some of the topics covered in the seminars include:
  • reasons for acquisition and/or partnering
  • developing a strategic plan
  • defining goals for business combinations
  • planning for specific transactions
  • organizing internal resources and seeking outside assistance
  • structuring to prepare for a transaction
  • using brokers, investment bankers, and other intermediaries
  • searching for candidates
  • conducting a first meeting
  • evaluating problems in a transaction
  • investigating candidates
  • valuing and pricing a transaction
  • negotiating the transaction
  • the integration team and the process

Seminars will be scheduled as requested, and will continue to be limited by current client time constraints.

Call Stephen Elias at (818) 883-9094 to schedule a seminar or request additional information.
