Preparing compelling and accurate sell-side support documentation

The Information Memorandum (IM) and Financial Data Pack provide crucial strategic, operational, and financial information about a company that is being prepared for a sale process. As these documents are critical to create a positive first impression when engaging with potential buyers, Victanis prepares them with a level of sophistication and detail that reflects the true value and future trajectory of the company.

While the IM is provided at an early stage in the process and usually after a buyer has expressed interest and signed a non-disclosure agreement, the Financial Data Pack is shared at a later stage and provides buyers with the key strategic, operational, and financial information necessary to confirm their interest in the company and their willingness to submit a non-binding offer.

Preparing a Comprehensive Information Memorandum

Victanis is experienced at working with sellers to prepare the Information Memorandum (IM) a sell-side process requires.

Preparing the Financial Book with Victanis

The Financial Book is a detailed financial record of the target company. It allows buyers to scrutinize the financial health, historical performance, and trends within the company. 

This document includes financial statements (usually 3–5 years), revenue breakdowns, expense details, margins, cash flows, capital expenditures, and working capital needs. It may also contain financial ratios and performance benchmarks against industry standards. 

When required by the complexity of the transaction, Victanis supports the buyers in preparing the financial book to give buyers a deep understanding of the financial foundation of the company, allowing for accurate valuation and assessment of potential risks.

Preparing a clear and concise Financial Pack

As part of their sell-side support services, Victanis supports sellers with the preparation of a financial pack that provides an overview of the company’s financial performance, projections and growth potential moving forward. 

A financial deck typically includes key financial metrics, income statements, expenses, business KPIs, and growth forecasts. The purpose is to clearly highlight the company’s financial health and growth prospects as well as to allow for accurate valuation and assessment of possible risks. A financial deck is customized based on the company's maturity and typically projects financials for at least three years. 

While having a financial deck is not mandatory when engaging in a sale process, Victanis advises clients on the advantages of producing one.

Challenges

In 2022, the German project developer and fund issuer Green City AG faced financial difficulties and was forced to file for insolvency. The French company Qair emerged as the buyer for the project development business and agreed to take over the personnel but declined to acquire Green City AG's existing projects and funds. Victanis, known for being specialist in the French renewable energy market, was tasked with selling three French rooftop solar portfolios, each consisting of approximately 15 individual installations on agricultural buildings. 

The sales process was conducted under the unique conditions and challenges posed by an ongoing insolvency procedure. 

Approach

  • To address the specific challenges and time constraints of the insolvency proceedings, Victanis proposed selling the three portfolios as a bundle to an institutional investor. Leveraging its French network, Victanis identified a suitable French renewable energy investment fund that was willing to offer a competitive price and capable of managing the challenges associated with an insolvency process. The portfolios were sold in an exceptionally short timeframe of only two months through a structured transaction.
