Shareholder Recapitalization Advisory Services

A recapitalization as a financing or liquidity alternative is often overlooked by privately-held companies. Whether a business is undercapitalized and in need of subordinated debt or equity capital, or is at a point where shareholders wish to evaluate divesting of a portion of their investment in the business, Promontory Point Capital can help achieve these goals.

Equity “recaps” tend to stabilize a Company’s balance sheet for growth and / or shareholder liquidity purposes and are usually funded through an investment from an institutional investor or private equity firm. Depending on the characteristics of the Company and the size of the funding need, the existing owners may retain either a minority or majority stake in their business. A debt recapitalization is typically a lower cost option for business owners, but is dependent on the Company’s existing level of bank debt and the financial stability of the business. In certain instances, a layer of financing between bank debt and equity capital known as subordinated debt (or mezzanine debt) may be the appropriate financing structure to achieve the desired outcome.

Our network of financing sources encompasses a wide spectrum of institutional groups seeking to make debt investments, minority equity investments, as well as majority equity investments. Depending on our client’s objectives and circumstances, PPC shareholder recapitalization services will identify the appropriate firms, confidentially solicit their transaction interest, and help negotiate terms amongst competing firms. We have the experience, flexibility, and contacts to execute these transactions in a matter of months and have done so for both financially challenged as well as financially secure clients.
