The main issues that the company has: whether to accept a pre-emptive bid or should pursue an auction to sell, and how the company’s executives streamline the process of selling.
This case determines all the directions from the company’s management that could produce an impact in this overall process. It also defines the issues, being a private equity, a firm has, along with the fact that the firm spun off out of its large parent financial services firm, and during that spin-out how the General Partner entity was valued.
