Sell-side primer:
In an international sell-side mandate of this category we are utilizing a confidential, targeted approach, customized to meet the client's specific objectives related to this specific transaction.

Most advisors use a remarkably similar process for all sell-side assignments. The process usually involves the writing of an Information Memorandum which is distributed to a number of potential acquirers. In principal, the process becomes an auction to the highest bidder. Although this is sometimes a feasible approach, oftentimes, a quieter, more focused approach will achieve better results. LB Capital therefore leverages transaction experience, industry prowess and regional knowledge to effect a successful, value-maximizing sale without "shopping the company".

Energy and Resources sectors are subject to unique regulatory issues. We therefore also make sure that our clients know how best to proceed from a regulatory perspective in order to retain the benefits of a successful transaction, and preclude delays to the targeted timeline. We find good preparation and a thorough understanding of our client's needs in this case to be the key to effective marketing and seamless negotiations and closing.

The keys to this approach are:
• Specialist understanding of the industry and ability to identify a select group of potential acquirers that represent the best fit for the client company;
• Effective communication with these selected potential acquirers in a way that allows them to truly appreciate attractiveness and value of the company;
• Carefully leading the process in a way that maximizes negotiating leverage.
