If you start early, plan wisely and get professional help if at all
possible, you will transition out of your company with more money in
your pocket.

The current economic downturn is due to three factors: 1) Too much
cheap money for too long and a Federal Reserve that created the housing
bubble, 2) The use of unstable financing provided to people who didn’t
understand what they were getting, and 3) The rating agencies allowed
poor quality high debt to pass into the system. The businesses relying
on the housing market are in a slump that will not bottom out until the
end of this year.

* Accept the Terms of the Offer – If the target firm’s top managers and
shareholders are happy with the terms of the transaction, they will go
ahead with the deal.

* Attempt to Negotiate – The tender offer price may not be high
enough for the target company’s shareholders to accept, or the specific
terms of the deal may not be attractive. In a merger, there may be much
at stake for the management of the target – their jobs, in particular.
If they’re not satisfied with the terms laid out in the tender offer,
the target’s management may try to work out more agreeable terms that
let them keep their jobs or, even better, send them off with a nice,
big compensation program. Not surprisingly, highly sought-after target
companies that are the object of several bidders will have greater
latitude for negotiation. Furthermore, managers have more negotiating
power if they can show that they are crucial to the merger’s future
success.

The Transition Companies was founded in 1988 as a consulting and
M&A firm called Succel Inc. (”Succel”). Succel originally provided
turnaround consulting expertise to increase the value of private-held
companies. In the mid 1990’s, Succel expanded into a full service
M&A and consulting professional services firm that maximized the
value of privately-held companies through an M&A sale or consulting
services.

In mid 2008, The Transition Companies was formed through the
merger of Succel with InterPrise M&A LLC (”InterPrise”).
InterPrise, founded in 1994 with 3 US offices and 1 European office,
was a leading nationwide middle market M&A firm that specialized in
the sale of privately-held companies. The Transition Companies is the
pre-eminent professional services firm providing complete exit and
transition strategies for owners of privately held companies seeking to
maximize the proceeds from the sale of their companies or increase
value prior to going to market.
The Transition Companies has 4 offices nationwide and a dedicated
professional team of 105 Associates. TTC’s team of professionals has
provided valuation, consulting and executed M&A sale transactions
for hundreds of companies across all industry sectors nationwide.

If the company is an

“S” or “LLC” corporation, the tax liability

is less than a “C” corporation.

The type of transaction, stock or asset is

ultimately determined during the

negotiation phase of the InterCap M&A

Process. Historically, the greatest percentage

of transactions were asset type.

Lately, we are seeing more stock transactions,

as buyers and their attorneys are

becoming more comfortable with this

type of transaction.
