Overview

We approached the vendor and began by securing a lock out and exclusivity arrangement over the deal.

Kingswood then advised the buyer on the form and structure of their offer, as well as advising on the contents of the sale and purchase agreement.

Appropriate due diligence and other warranty discussions were made; we also advised the buyer on the form and type of debt facilities that would be required in order to complete the transactions.

Kingswood also coordinated the legal advice given to the Board during the course of the transaction and provided general advice and support as required by those involved throughout.
