The Season of Closing 6 Deals

This past summer was a busy time for DAK. We completed six sell side transactions that spanned a variety of industries, from transportation and technology to materials, industrials, health care and consumer goods.

The DAK Team celebrated with a luncheon at headquarters in Rochelle Park, NJ.

Alan Scharfstein, President, complimented the group for their hard work and noted,

It is not just that we closed deals, it is that we have changed clients’ lives. We have made a real difference in how they will live and move forward with what they have earned from these transactions”

In reviewing what drove the closing of so many deals in such a short period of time we saw a few trends, owners were motivated by a variety of reasons, some liked the strong valuations they were offered, others were ready to move on to do something else, and some stayed on, but simply cashed out. There are still many active buyers both strategic and PE looking for solid middle market companies and willing to pay for the value – we anticipate this appetite to continue well into 2023.

Congratulations to every member of the Deal Team!

VCI – Emergency Vehicle Specialists recapitalized by Tightrope Capital & NewSpring Capital

VCI is the preeminent full lifecycle sales and service provider of emergency ambulance solutions to first aid squads, EMS organizations, fire departments, hospital organizations, municipalities, and private medical transport companies in the Mid-Atlantic Region. VCI was recapitalized by private equity firms Tightrope Capital Partners and NewSpring Capital.

DAK led a competitive, sell-side process for VCI, generating multiple offers from a wide range of strategic buyers and financial sponsors. By positioning the combination of VCI’s market leadership position, comprehensive services offering, strong manufacturer relationships, and robust backlog, DAK achieved an outstanding outcome for the company’s shareholders.

The acquisition provides the shareholders of VCI an opportunity to accelerate its growth strategy by expanding its core ambulance business, building out the value-added segments of conversions and remounts, implementing operational improvements, and pursuing acquisitions with the help of its new partners. Tightrope and NewSpring have an opportunity to leverage VCI’s strong management team and operating platform to build a multi-regional player in emergency ambulance solutions.
