Independent Sponsor Real Estate Carve-Outs in Specialty Chemicals
Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors structuring specialty chemicals transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.
The economics on a specialty chemicals platform deal usually hinge on a handful of structural decisions. Real Estate Carve-Outs is one of them.
The typical specialty chemicals platform sits at $15M to $200M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $28M range. The thesis runs on niche formulator or contract manufacturing buy-up. The IP lives in the formulator's head as often as in the company. Structure for that risk explicitly.
How Real Estate Carve-Outs actually gets structured.
Separate operating real estate into a single-purpose entity pre-close.
Document an arm's-length lease with renewal options and assignment rights.
Address title, survey, and environmental on each parcel.
Coordinate the real estate close with the operating company close.
In specialty chemicals, layer in chemical inventory transfer filed as part of the Real Estate Carve-Outs workstream.
Leaving the real estate inside the operating company. The buyer pays a higher multiple than the real estate deserves.
"Real estate trades at a different multiple than the business. Separate it, lease it, manage it."Jason Powell · Real Estate Carve-Outs
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
After close, the call list for refinancing, recapitalization, and growth equity gets short and known. Jason carries that list.
