A $9 million microwave technology manufacturing company engaged Wyatt Matas & Associates to assist the owner in selling the company to key members of his management team. After multiple rounds of negotiations with both parties, it became evident that the management team would not have sufficient financing to acquire the company as initially planned. Wyatt Matas & Associates leveraged relationships in the financial community and was able to identify three private equity companies that would acquire the company alongside the management team. The owner was able cash out and the management team was able to retain 35% of the company.
