TRANSACTION TYPES

Management Buyout (MBO) -- Managers of standalone companies, subsidiaries or divisions pursue an MBO in order to increase their influence in the development of a company and the implementation of its strategy. Private equity firms such as AFG typically partner with management to provide the equity portion of the acquisition financing. The quality and industry expertise of the private equity firm is often crucial to the success of the MBO.

Corporate Divestitures -- A corporate divestiture occurs when a large company divests a division that is non-strategic or a division that might be worth more as a separate entity than as part of the parent company. AFG partners with the management teams of these non-core divisions to acquire and revitalize them by establishing proper management incentives and by providing access to capital, operating and strategic resources.

Private Companies/Family-Owned Companies -- A significant number of private and family-owned businesses have reached a stage where the founder and the next generation owners and/or management have different goals and objectives. These founders often prefer to work with a private equity firm like AFG that has significant industry experience and the flexibility to develop creative transaction and estate planning structures.
