Sell side diligence

A sell-side mandate in connection with the potential divestment of a mid-cap Turkey-based operation of a listed European pharmaceutical player, as the site no longer fits in the Group’s portfolio of assets post change in group strategy.

Key sticking/ pain points:

  • Delays or inconsistencies in responses due to management being focused on day-to-day operations, not prepared for the intensity of diligence.
  • Data retrieval was delayed due to the need to gather information from multiple, uncoordinated sources.
  • The onsite team was unfamiliar with the requirements of such a transaction, which resulted in timeline slippages.
