Managing a Due Diligence

Tue 22 Sep 2015

Stake

In the course of the competitive acquisition procedure of a European company, a telecom operator asked Sofrecom to perform due diligence on the operation by focusing on the coordination and support of the working groups.

Methodology

Specifically, we established a governance to coordinate interactions with the seller, the investment bank, the lawyers and the business working group’s steering committee. In addition to centralising all dialogue, we conducted a number of analyses (data room, senior management presentation, business risks and protection, seller’s business plan etc.) and we qualified business synergies. To complete the mission, we wrote a due diligence report.

Result

We have delivered a clear view of the company’s actual performance and abilities, as well as its potential business risks and synergies. This summarised, factual Due Diligence report was of great help to the Investment Committee.
