Maximising investment value through
parallel M&A and fleet sales process

01.
The Client Challenge

The owner of a dry-bulk shipping company wanted to maximise the value of his investment. He needed to decide between selling his fleet or finding a co-investor to bring in equity capital to develop the business.

The Braemar Solution

We ran a novel twin-track M&A process (to find a co-investor) and fleet sales process (to establish the sales value of the fleet). These were run in parallel by our Corporate Finance and Sales & Purchase teams.

Running a parallel track was complicated because the M&A process is lengthier and very different in nature to a fleet sales process; however, it was the best way to simultaneously evaluate the two options.

03.
The Result

Not only did our team find an investor for the company and purchasers for the vessels, we also showed the owner that there was more value in bringing in the investor’s equity capital than in selling the fleet.
