How We Support the Execution of M&A Transactions
With the deal now signed, attention turns to the most crucial stage: execution. Aether serves as a trusted, independent partner to coordinate the complex closing process.
A Framework for Execution
Securing the Transaction Framework
We support you through every key step from signing to closing. We act as your tabulation agent to manage all communications to shareholders, ensuring clarity and compliance. We then manage consents as your drag-along agent and through formal vote organisation and management. To mitigate risk, we establish robust escrow agent services, and act as your official registrar to manage the share ledger.
Architecting the Financial Flows
To ensure a flawless execution of the closing, we deliver end-to-end support—from architecting the settlement plan to executing fund transfers through our comprehensive fundsflow management services. For cross-border transactions, we act as your process agent and provide timely corporate valuation and complex instrument valuation as required by the deal.
Executing the Close
On closing day, our team provides central coordination. As your dedicated closing agent, we manage the live transfer of funds, ensuring all parties fulfil their obligations seamlessly and efficiently.
Post-Close Diligence
Our work does not stop at closing—we make sure the full value of the deal is delivered. We handle the waterfall calculation to ensure proceeds are distributed accurately and, if needed, act as the seller’s representative to manage any follow-up claims or adjustments.
