Oaklins' team in Dallas advised the seller in this transaction. The team developed a plan to approach key buyers in the industry who had a strong interest in the market and size of Peliton. Running a formal process, managing both the number of buyers and a strict time frame for negotiating initial offers, the team delivered four strong and competing offers and subsequently improved those offers by as much as 60%. The client had two very well-matched acquirors with competing offers to choose from and selected the firm who provided the most promise in terms of experience, capital and product offerings to support a successful acquisition and future growth opportunities for Peliton, its markets, clients and employees.
