Mergers & Acquisitions

Hexagon has extensive experience providing M&A advisory services to help with the strategic sale or purchase of a company.

Strategic Sale Support

When a lender, private equity firm, or owner decides to sell a company, time is critical. You need to know your strategic sale options for realizing maximum value. As a strategic sale advisor, Hexagon provides experienced leadership through this complex process – from initial start-up through to the final sale.

Orderly Wind-downs

When a distressed situation results in the necessary wind-down of a company, the process should occur in an orderly, timely manner while not creating additional liabilities for constituents or further eroding value. Hexagon is ideally qualified to lead this process and maximize the recovery.

Maximize Value

While seemingly straightforward, even wind-downs benefit from creative approaches to improve recoveries, particularly when the value of the parts may be greater than the whole. More than liquidation skills are required: it takes specialized experience to find or create value under these circumstances.

Hexagon can add or create value through:

• Direct experience in wind-down environments, taking quick and decisive action to avoid further deterioration in value
• Experience leading a selling process in time-constrained, high-pressure situations
• Expertise in generating value from non-enterprise assets
• Knowledge of the critical pitfalls which can increase liabilities to the enterprise or its constituents

Manage the Entire Process

The wind-down process incorporates a combination of asset disposition, strategic sales, real estate and liability management expertise. Identifying existing value, and determining the optimal method for realizing that value, is core to the process. Our background is ideally suited to effectively execute a wind-down.

We manage the entire process from initial assessment through ultimate resolution.
