Reorganising a group after acquisition

The challenge

After a private equity acquisition, the group's legal entity structure had to be reorganised, with many advisors and regulators involved and cost to control.

What I did

• Led the legal and financial reorganisation, including the sale and purchase of five entities.
• Managed valuers, tax and deals experts, transfer pricing specialists, lawyers and corporate secretaries against one plan.
• Drafted the audit memos supporting the accounting treatment.
• Handled obligations with ASIC, Companies House and the NZ Companies Office.

The result

The new structure in place and aligned with the private equity parent's intended design.
