M&A

Prepare transactions. Execute them. Convert them into value.

We advise companies and shareholders on disposals, acquisitions, partnerships, carve-outs and integrations.

Antarex combines transaction expertise with operational understanding. We consider not only the deal, but also the company’s performance before and after the transaction.

OUR M&A APPROACH

Prepare → Transact → Integrate

From the strategic starting point to operational value realization, we manage the transaction as one connected process of change.

01

Prepare

Clarify options and become transaction-ready

We establish a robust basis for decisions, sharpen the transaction rationale and professionally prepare the company and its materials.

  • Strategic options and transaction rationale
  • Transaction readiness and robust performance baseline
  • Equity story, business plan and transaction materials
  • Buyer, investor or target universe
  • Carve-out concept, stand-alone planning and process design
Phase outcome

A clear transaction decision and a professionally prepared business.

02

Transact

Drive the process to a focused completion

We structure and manage the process, coordinate all parties and create transparency for sound decisions and negotiations.

  • Sell-side process management and targeted buyer outreach
  • Search for strategic partners and investors
  • Buy-side screening and assessment of selected targets
  • Commercial and operational due diligence
  • Data room, management presentation, Q&A and process coordination
  • Support through negotiation, signing and closing
Phase outcome

A controlled process, robust decision support and an executable closing.

03

Integrate

Realize transaction objectives operationally

We translate deal rationale and synergies into concrete initiatives and manage integration or separation from Day 1 to a stable organization.

  • Day-1 readiness and 100-day program
  • Integration Management Office and governance
  • Synergy planning, execution and benefit tracking
  • Target organization, operating model and process harmonization
  • Separation management, TSA governance and carve-out execution
  • Post-merger transformation and value-creation program
Phase outcome

An operational organization and measurably realized transaction objectives.

OPERATIONAL TRANSACTION EXPERTISE

More than a finance-led transaction process.

Special situations require a perspective beyond valuation and process. We connect market, finance, organization and operations in one consistent transaction logic.

01

Operational substance

We understand the performance levers, delivery capability, organization and execution risks behind the numbers.

02

Credible equity story

Positioning and business plan are based on a robust operational path – not only on an ambitious forecast.

03

End-to-end responsibility

Where required, we stay from the readiness program through the deal to integration or separation.

SELECTED ENGAGEMENT TYPES

Tailored to the objective, situation and shareholder interest.

We work on selected transactions where operational experience and personal seniority make a decisive difference.

01

Company and business disposals

Preparation and management of structured or targeted sell-side processes.

02

Strategic partnerships and investors

Identification and approach of suitable partners for growth, transformation or succession.

03

Acquisitions and due diligence

Target search, commercial and operational due diligence, and integration planning.

04

Carve-out, separation and integration

Operational preparation and execution of complex transitions before and after closing.
