Case Study Details

The Government Contracts Group conducted due diligence and advised on a voluntary disclosure issue that arose during the auction process. The change of control involved the sale by the ESOP of 100 percent of the capital stock of Phacil, and the M&A Team structured the transaction as a stock purchase.

The most notable detail about the transactions was that in the days preceding the planned closing, this contained an atypical provision. The private equity buyer realized that one of its portfolio companies owned a right to bid on task orders issued under the Alliant 2 governmentwide acquisition contract.
