Objective

For the client to be included in the final shortlist of potential strategic investors and for the seller and buyer to reach agreement so that the client can become a strategic investor in the target company.

Methodology

Based on the good relationship that The Beijing Axis has developed with the client, as well as a comprehensive understanding of its overseas development strategy and near-term plans, The Beijing Axis was able to identify a significant investment opportunity in a number of overseas gold and copper mining assets.

Yet The Beijing Axis also designed the strategy and process for executing the deal opportunity; conducted day-to-day communication facilitation and management; assisted in high-level management dialogue with the target company; prepared the necessary documentation; identified an overseas legal and accounting advisor; coordinated and managed working relations between all relevant parties; supported the client during the site visit arrangement; and performed the financial analysis and valuation.

Outcome

Of more than 15 candidates worldwide, the client was chosen by the seller to be one of the 2 finalists. The client provided very positive feedback on The Beijing Axis' services, and hence The Beijing Axis has been requested to continue identifying other overseas mining investment opportunities.
