Dealing with carve-outs: how to optimize the outcome for corporates
An evolving business landscape, characterized by geopolitical uncertainty and technological disruption, continually obliges corporates to (re)consider their strategic position and financial development. As a result, carve-outs are becoming increasingly important in the current deal market, as they allow corporates to sharpen their focus on core activities, unlock shareholder value, improve operational efficiency, or comply with regulatory demands.
The divestment of subsidiaries or non-core activities may be internally necessary to improve overall business performance. However, corporate carve-outs are often highly complex, making it essential to partner with an M&A advisor with substantial experience in addressing potential carve-out challenges, such as shared personnel, IT infrastructure, facilities, procurement contracts, and conflicting stakeholder interests.
