Tackling the top divestiture challenges

Hosted by Ernst & Young LLP Transaction Advisory Services

Companies are increasingly using divestitures to raise capital and increase shareholder value. However, these transactions often garner less value than anticipated because of two key challenges:

  1. Communicating with stakeholders. Companies often struggle with balancing transaction confidentiality versus deal progress. Their communication strategy affects their bottom line and revolves around employee, productivity and morale as well as client retention and shareholder confidence.
  2. Understanding potential buyer synergies. To attract bidder interest and enhance valuations, companies have to target the right buyer pool, understand what type of information to share with strategic versus financial bidders and effectively communicate potential bidder synergies related to infrastructure, products and other critical aspects of the business.

Join a panel of leading corporate executives as they share their insights and experiences in tackling these top divestment challenges.
