Transaction Types
While Oxbow has the ability to invest in companies at all stages of development, we are almost exclusively focused on opportunities to back a superior management team in acquiring a more mature business. The types of transactions facilitated by Oxbow generally include:
Ownership transition for family-owned companies.
Frequently, private company owners reach a point where they seek to achieve liquidity, diversify their holdings and/or position the company for the next stage of development. We can facilitate these objectives by sponsoring a recapitalization of the business in which the current owners obtain significant liquidity, and the next level of management is enfranchised through equity ownership. In many cases, previous owners retain an equity interest so that they can capitalize on the continuing growth of their company.
Management buyouts.
We are interested in backing entrepreneurial management teams that have identified opportunities to acquire and operate attractive businesses. We offer these teams the equity backing necessary to complete the buyout and contribute our expertise and relationships to facilitate the structuring and financing of the transaction.
Corporate divestitures.
Oxbow seeks to acquire divisions that have been deemed non-core by their corporate parent. Often these divisions have untapped growth potential and strong management teams that would benefit from Oxbow’s sponsorship, resources, and capital.
