tbi's Corporate Team advises on acquisitions, disposals and mergers of companies and businesses for a broad range of clients operating in local, national and international economies. Here are just a few of the transactions we have recently been involved in.
We advised the members of Ferguson McIlveen LLP ("FM") in the sale of its international planning, architectural, engineering and project management business for GBP10.1M to Scott Wilson Limited, the trading subsidiary of Scott Wilson plc, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. FM is a leading international consultancy organisation with its registered office in Middlesbrough and trading offices in Belfast, Dublin, Londonderry, Glasgow, Chester, Guildford, Leeds and Swansea.
We advised Zumtobel Lighting GmbH on the UK corporate law aspects of the acquisition of the remaining 30% of the issued share capital in Thorn Lighting Asian Holdings B.V. from Jardine Matheson Europe B.V. for a multi million euro sum. Thorn Lighting Asian Holdings B.V. is the Zumtobel Group's holding company for its subsidiaries in the Far East, including China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
We acted in a multi-million euro deal for the leading international supplier of specialist lighting systems, the Zumtobel Group, in the sale of its UK airfield lighting business to the Swedish airport guidance and docking systems specialist, Safegate International AB. The Zumtobel Group, based in Dornbirn in the Vorarlberg region of Austria, is a global player in the lighting industry.
We advised manager/shareholders in the sale of their recycling company to a large national operator in the waste management arena. As part of the sale tbi advised the sellers on their performance related deferred consideration.
We acted for the manager/shareholders in the sale of 75% of the issued share capital in their company as a means of attracting much needed development capital to enable the company to take best advantage of the opportunities which arose as a result of the owners' commitment to their company. The managers saw significant advantages in "owning a smaller part of a bigger pot".
The documentation included shareholder protection provisions to ensure our clients had more say in the affairs of the company than was warranted by their collective 25% retained shareholding.
We acted for the management team in the acquisition of the business of a national company out of administration. Working round the clock, this deal was completed by tbi's corporate team within 4 days of taking initial instructions.
