Building A M&A Model of “PE + Listed Company”
In this typical M&A model, the PE firm (as GP), along with publicly listed company (as LP) or its major shareholders sometimes, sets up a specialized fund to acquire assets. After acquisition, the listed company maintains daily management, and PE is in charge of strategy planning, industry research analysis and resources integration, etc. Finally, PE firm will exit through the listed company until it matures.
Three advantages of the model:
1. Apart from commissions, PE will also gain premium from its investment depending on actual revenue and initial contract.
2. More efficient than listed companying stepping in the M&A process individually. At the same time, this model helps to increase leverage that less initial investment will be required.
3. Largely reducing the cost of information exposures, the listed company will only appear as LP.
