Engagement Goals

Brookwood guided the owners of ERI through the process of selling the company to Glencoe Capital in a transaction that enhanced the business’s possibilities for future growth.

Engagement Process and Outcomes

The Challenge – Brookwood was engaged to market the business and find a partner that would provide liquidity and allow the Company to improve its growth potential. There were a number of complex product and industry characteristics that Brookwood had to assimilate quickly in order to present a compelling story.

Effective Marketing and Positioning – Brookwood recommended a broad marketing process in order to allow the shareholder base to make a well-informed, market-driven decision. The marketing process generated strong interest that presented the shareholder base with five offers, three of which were compelling and difficult to choose between.

Excellent Results – The Company was sold to Glencoe Capital at a very attractive outcome.
