MBO – GPC JAPAN

MBO

We conduct advisory business concerning the formulation of plan and the execution, of the management buyout, leading to the non-public company.

The management buyout (MBO, Management Buy-Out) means that the president or the management of a company obtains substantially the company’s own shares by transfer from the shareholders of the company thereby becoming the owner-manager.
That the MBO is executed in a listed company means, in many cases, that it is at the same time accompanied by becoming the non-public company.

In order to carry out MBO, it is necessary to have expertise of various fields which include the evaluation of corporate value, the formulation of plans to obtain financing from a fund or a financial institution and make repayments to them, the legal risk, accounting risk, the examination of tax risk and the examination of problems from the viewpoint of the disclosure.

We surely support the MBO to be executed by clients, based on our abundant experience in the field of finance.

Due diligence duties

In implementing MBO, there is a need to understand correctly the details of business and, for that purpose, to conduct appropriately the inspection of the business model (business due diligence), the inspection of the legal risk (legal due diligence) and the inspection of the financial risk (financial due diligence). Especially, the financial due diligence is indispensable for the corporate value measurement (stock price computation), and we have our strength in this field.
