USI was evaluating potential exit options for its business, including a sale of the business as a going concern, sale of the operational clean room for adaptive advanced technology reuse, and liquidation of all assets
FabExchange was engaged to expertly advise USI on its options and to implement an integrated and comprehensive marketing approach to maximize its financial return
Partnering with a local real estate firm, FabExchange advised USI on a two-tiered approach:marketing to advanced technology users and to real estate developers / financial buyers
Through an effective and broad outreach campaign, FabExchange was able to introduce multiple advanced technology users that placed significant financial and strategic value on the existing clean room and facility infrastructure
Utilizing the existing bids, FabExchange counseled USI in its selection of a lead bidder, Shenzhen O-Film, and in the ultimate negotiations. USI was able to secure highly advantageous deal terms (e.g.minimal due diligence period, all cash offer) and a 20% premium over the offers from real estate developers and financial buyers
