Deal Summary
Ethica Corporate Finance and Catalyst Corporate Finance advised the shareholders of Vimec – a PE backed leading European player in the design, manufacture, sale, installation and service of mobility and accessibility solutions for residential and commercial applications – in the sale to IGI and Finint, Italian financial investors. The Secondary Buy-Out transaction is aimed at supporting Vimec in strengthening its international presence and developing new products.
Value Added
Catalyst Corporate Finance and Ethica Corporate Finance structured a tailored international team to offer Vimec's shareholders a comprehensive and bespoke advice. The team could leverage both on Catalyst's expertise and buyers reach in the accessibility market, arising from their Minivator/Handicare transaction, and on Ethica's reach in the Italian financial community and local execution expertise.
Catalyst and Ethica delivered a focused and staged approach by screening all the key trade buyers and relevant local Private Equity houses, providing Vimec's shareholders with a full guidance on the right time to market and the best available options for their exit.
The above allowed Vimec's financial shareholders to successfully realize their investment and the management team to find a new motivated investor, ready to support and strengthen their growth efforts.
