LCC Asia Pacific advised cross border deal wins global industry award in New York

SYDNEY - May 7, 2018 - PRLog -- The global M & A network has recently announced that the divestment of Australian technology engineering products company WearX to Finland's Metso Corporation has been awarded Global M & A Deal Of The Year – sub USD$100m in the 2018 M & A Atlas Awards which will be held at the Intrepid Museum in New York on 5^th June.

LCC Asia Pacific led this sell side engagement, working closely with the WearX team to design and implement a cross border strategic review process.  The deal was centred in the engineering and mining services sector where LCC Asia Pacific has specific expertise.

This international transaction was conducted on a compressed timetable, with the entire deal completed in around 15 weeks from indicative offers being received to final closing.  The highly collaborative approach saw multiple final round offers submitted – all from Northern Hemisphere companies.

"Our Firm has been fortunate to work with many great clients and on many successful deals, but this one was seamless," Nicholas Assef, LCC Asia Pacific's Founder & Principal remarked.  "I also believe it is a case study in the matching of organisations that goes beyond simple financial deal terms – as here both organisations shared considerable values, including for client service excellence and a belief in technology & innovation," Nicholas Assef concluded.

The 10^th Annual Global Markets M & A Awards will be presented in conjunction with the Global Growth Intelligence Forum.
