Acquisition Proposal
This document is not legally binding. It is intended solely as a guideline to our typical acquisition structure and approach. Any acquisition would be subject to formal documentation and legally binding agreements executed by both parties.
This document outlines how Bavlin acquires businesses and our role following acquisition. We offer three structures and adapt terms to each seller's objectives.
1. Ownership — three structures
We offer three acquisition structures:
- Full divestiture. The seller transfers 100% of the business; we acquire and operate. The seller exits entirely.
- Partial sale. The seller transfers a portion (e.g. a majority stake); we acquire that share and operate. The seller may retain a minority interest or exit fully in respect of the transferred portion.
- Partial sale with retained operational role. The seller transfers a portion and continues to manage the business under mutually agreed terms—we acquire; the seller retains operational leadership.
Bavlin provides all consideration for the acquisition; the seller is not required to invest in the transaction.
No financial investment is required from the seller. We fund the acquisition. The seller receives consideration (cash and/or other agreed terms) in accordance with the purchase agreement. The structure depends on which option the parties select.
2. Our role after acquisition
Bavlin operates the businesses we acquire. We are not passive owners. Our involvement includes:
- Daily operations and management: We assume responsibility for day-to-day operations and decision-making—strategy, resources, and execution—so that the business continues to perform and grow.
- Capital deployment: We are responsible for capital and investment decisions, ensuring the company has the structure and funding required to grow in a disciplined manner.
- Governance and strategy: We set strategic direction, governance, and key commercial and operational decisions, with the aim of building a sustainable, scalable business for the long term.
We acquire in order to operate—except where the parties agree on a partial sale with the seller retaining operational control, in which case the seller continues to manage operations under agreed terms.
3. No investment from seller
The seller is not required to contribute capital. We fund the acquisition. The seller's obligations are to provide information, cooperate on due diligence and transition, and complete the sale. Consideration to the seller is as set out in the purchase agreement (full or partial exit).
4. Next steps
This proposal summarizes our typical acquisition structure and approach. Specific terms—including structure (full sale, partial sale, or partial sale with retained operational role), valuation, transition, and roles—would be agreed in good faith and documented in formal agreements once mutual interest is confirmed. We welcome inquiries from parties considering a sale.
