Mergers and Acquisitions
Tobie Capital professionals combine their transaction expertise along with our extensive research capabilities, proprietary investor database, and custom, enterprise-wide transaction management system to deliver the greatest value for each client. We implement a customized and comprehensive process intended to generate maximum value for shareholders with minimum distraction for operating managers. Our managing directors work closely with clients to first define objectives, and then design and implement a transaction strategy to achieve each goal.




Exclusive Sale Engagements
Every sale engagement is unique and depends on the specific needs and objectives of the client's shareholders. The manner in which Tobie Capital conducts a sale process will, by design, vary based on the client's preference with regard to:

  • The number and nature of the parties to initiate discussions
  • The client's time frame and expectations
  • The management and ongoing operations of the business
  • Other strategic considerations and market factors
  • Personal and other unique considerations

While every sale engagement is conducted differently, we recognize that creating value for our clients also requires that we conduct all sale engagements with:

  • The highest level of confidentiality and discretion to best preserve and protect the client's relationship with customers, vendors and employees.
  • Extensive industry and buyer research, allowing us to understand the transaction and value proposition from all perspectives.
  • Active management from our senior professionals to ensure that the process remains on track, with all involved parties working together towards a successful conclusion
  • Understanding the financial and key valuation considerations at the highest possible level to advise our client and communicate to potential buyers.
  • Understanding our client and its future potential and communicating this understanding to the targeted audience to maximize value.
  • Minimizing the time requirements of management and potential distractions to the acquirers.
  • Creativity and negotiating savvy that allows us to structure a transaction that best meets the client's multiple objectives.


 

Acquisition Advisory
By taking a comprehensive, long-term view of our clients' acquisition initiatives, Tobie Capital focuses on generating the best return for the long term (which may include not doing a transaction). We believe this sets us apart from other advisors. Our senior professionals partner with clients to identify relevant acquisition criteria and establish a systematic process to identify, research, and prioritize potential targets to complement their organic growth plans. From initial contact, due diligence and valuation, to negotiation, and deal structuring, Tobie Capital will be your partner every step of the way.




Corporate Divestitures
Given the complexities of corporate divestitures, finding the right buyer is the most challenging and critical aspect of these transactions. In some cases, a strategic buyer is required due to lack of management or shared operating assets that must be retained by the parent. In other cases, a financial buyer is preferred due to management's desire to participate in a transaction and concerns about sharing information with competitors. Tobie Capital will work with the parent company and operating management to understand these issues and agree on the optimal buyer for each situation. Through our experience in divestitures of subsidiaries, operating divisions, product lines and manufacturing facilities for public and private companies, Tobie Capital will establish a framework that preserves confidentiality while maximizing value and other transaction attributes that are important to the shareholders of the parent company.




Management Buyouts
Tobie Capital has extensive transaction experience, advising both management teams seeking to acquire an operating entity from its owners, and owners seeking to sell an operation to its managers. In addition to structuring and negotiating transactions that meets the objectives of both managers and owners, Tobie Capital can assist management teams in securing the appropriate external financing to consummate a transaction. We also provide assistance with structuring ongoing equity positions, key terms of employment contracts, as well as valuation services that provide owners with the assurance that they are receiving a fair and competitive value for their business.




Private Institutional Financing
Tobie Capital financing professionals are experienced in all aspects of capital formation including senior debt, subordinated debt, mezzanine capital, preferred stock and common stock. We maintain an ongoing dialogue with institutional sources of capital, including commercial banks, insurance companies, pension funds, finance companies, hedge funds, mezzanine funds, venture capital funds and private equity groups.

Tobie Capital has also advised companies that are unable to fully capture potential growth or liquidity opportunities because they have outgrown their existing financing sources, as well as companies that are inadequately leveraging their balance sheet or cash flow with traditional bank debt. In both of these situations, Tobie Capital considers every available source of capital on behalf of our clients, including asset-based loans, senior cash flow loans, institutional private placements, equipment and mortgage financing, asset securitizations, operating or capital leases, subordinated debt, preferred stock and common equity. We often pursue more than one type of capital to provide an optimal capital structure and minimize dilution. We also recognize and proactively manage the structural and logistical challenges of closing multiple transactions simultaneously.




Strategic Advisory
Tobie Capital strategic advisory services focus on identifying and implementing strategies to maximize shareholder value while addressing diverse shareholder objectives. We evaluate capitalization alternatives, analyzing their ability to meet both the growth requirements of a client company and the liquidity needs of its shareholders. We examine a range of transaction strategies, including acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations and, potentially, the sale of the company and measure how each strategy impacts shareholder objectives relative to risk, liquidity, asset diversification, succession issues, estate planning and value maximization. Our analysis of shareholder value is based on solid analytical as well as first-hand experience and knowledge of the current M&A and financing environments.




Valuations
Tobie Capital valuation professionals subscribe to the highest ethical and professional standards set by The American Society of Appraisers and the AICPA. Tobie Capital provides independent and objective valuation advisory services for a number of purposes, including merger and acquisition transactions, strategic planning, ESOPs, fairness opinions, estate and tax planning, management compensation, goodwill impairment testing and purchase price allocations (including valuation of intangible assets). In addition, we also have the capabilities to appraise fixed assets, including machinery & equipment and real estate. Our valuation professionals combine advanced valuation techniques, an understanding of current market conditions and an in-depth knowledge of tax and structural issues to offer middle market companies a broad range of sophisticated and relevant valuation services.



Litigation Support
Tobie Capital also provides valuation and related consulting services in the context of dispute resolution and litigation support. We have the professional resources, expertise and experience to provide shareholders and/or litigants with the support required to document damages resulting from capital markets and other business transactions. Services include general consulting, expert valuation reports and expert testimony.




Restructuring
Tobie Capital restructuring services focus on companies undergoing a period of unexpected financial or operational turbulence. Our clients have included companies, secured lenders, unsecured creditors, and shareholders. Tobie Capital merger and acquisition professionals are often called upon to analyze the potential sale of the company or its operating assets, while our financing professionals examine innovative strategies to restructure the company's debt and equity. We are comfortable both in and outside bankruptcy court and have experience in this specialized area. Collectively, our merger, acquisition and financing specialists can provide a solution that maximizes value for all constituencies.

We have strategic relationships with consulting firms in the United States, Canada, Europe, Middle East, Central & South America and China, which provide our clients with ready access to capital sources, acquisition targets and merger partners in any of these geographic areas.
