Sun Equity Solutions - Past SES Projects

Contract Design & Manufacturing: We were retained by the Seller to solicit a private equity recapitalization of a $52 Million contract fashion accessory manufacturer with operations in New York, Hong Kong and China. Update: This assignment was successfully completed in November 2005 with the closing of the transaction with Silverline Partners. SES is currently assisting Silverline with the identification of add-on opportunities for the company.

Branded Fashion Accessories: We were engaged by a $180 Million leading fashion accessory manufacturer to identify a suitable private equity sponsor for a corporate recapitalization. This transaction will provide more than $100 Million of liquidity to the controlling shareholders, who will continue to manage the company and maintain an ownership interest.

Specialty Retail: We were retained by the owners of a specialty chain of home improvement retail stores to assist in an ownership transition. The $30 Million chain was acquired in an all cash transaction by Parallel Investment Partners in January 2006. Parallel (formerly SKMGI) is a leading private equity investor with deep retail experience.

Specialty Retail 2: SES assisted Parallel Investment Partners in the identification and sourcing of a second retail acquisition. The transaction closed in January 2007 and involved a leading regional importer and retailer of home furnishings.

Wholesale Electrical Distribution: We represented a $20 Million specialty electrical component distributor that was acquired by a small private equity firm. Both owners remained with the company post transaction and are transitioning into retirement.

Fiber Optic Services: We were retained to solicit private equity investors for a $65 Million northeast specialty contracting (telecom and fiber optic) firm looking for a recapitalization / growth capital partner. We succeeded in quickly finding a qualified acquirer with industry experience who proposed a transaction valued at more than $50 Million. Both principle owners/managers are to remain with the company after the transaction.

IT Services: We were retained by a sponsor backed IT services company with an interest in making a significant acquisition. We quickly introduced a $60 Million firm whose owners wanted to continue to grow as part of a larger entity and to participate in larger liquidity event within the next 4-5 years.

Pharmaceutical Packaging: We represented a leading regional Pharmaceutical Contract Packager. The Company was acquired by a partnership of two NYC based private equity groups for approximately $14 Million in cash.
