CYLAD has developed a broad expertise on the operational aspects of all phases of a M&A deal:

With our end-to-end value proposition our teams contribute to leveraging the expected synergies of a transaction by bringing hands-on operational insights, as well as homogeneous, consistent support along all the phases of a deal from end-to-end. CYLAD approach enables an efficient communication between all stakeholders involved in the deal: top management, operational teams, M&A team, legal firms, and investment bankers.
CYLAD positioning is complementary to the activities performed by investment bankers and lawyers...

By covering all phases of a M&A deal, our teams capture the expected synergies and secure operational continuity
We have experience with the many factors that can bring complexity into a deal, and we monitor these to deliver a smooth Post-Merger Integration
- Maintain the Transitional Service Agreement (TSA) at a mandatory minimum level while securing business continuity
- Support HR process with the regulation of merger-related anxiety by maintaining clear and regular communication
- Proactive separation of complex functions in early stages of the merger (e.g., accounting, IT, and collaborative tools)
We provide homogeneous and consistent support from the due diligence to the Post-Merger Integration
- Same team support throughout all phases of the deal
- Our functional and deal expertise strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive, end-to-end support, from business case evaluation to delivery of identified benefits
We support the negotiation of ancillary agreements
- Our team of experts has deep knowledge of business processes, as well as the appropriate background to properly monitor closing conditions and consequently secure Day 1 and deal economics
We monitor execution as much as deal covenants
- We have supported numerous ancillary agreement negotiations (e.g. parts supply agreements, aftermarket model, segregations, etc.) in parallel with delivering the separation
