Disclosure Schedules Counsel for Building Products Acquisitions

Preparing Disclosure Schedules on building products deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.

EV range $10M to $150M EV EBITDA $2.5M to $25M Audience Buy & Sell-side
The deal context

Every building products acquisition has its own gravity. Disclosure Schedules is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.

The typical building products platform sits at $10M to $150M EV with EBITDA in the $2.5M to $25M range. The thesis runs on regional manufacturer or specialty distributor consolidation. Pricing power lives in dealer contracts, not in branding. Read the dealer agreements before the LOI.

The moves

How Disclosure Schedules actually gets structured.

  1. Coordinate disclosure schedule preparation with the seller's diligence file, not against it.

  2. Specifically disclose against specific reps, with cross-reference indexing.

  3. Use the schedules to surface known issues, not to hide them.

  4. Update schedules at signing and again at closing where allowed.

  5. In building products, layer in raw-material pass-through clauses confirmed as part of the Disclosure Schedules workstream.

The common mistake

Treating disclosure as a dump. The schedules carry the same legal weight as the reps; they need the same precision.

Jason's take
"Disclosure schedules are the most underrated document in M&A. They protect both sides when done right."

Capital after close

The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.

Most independent sponsors solve the closing capital and then run into the post-close capital problem alone. The capital markets relationships that matter at month 18 are part of this practice.
