Baxa Corporation is a provider of medical systems and devices.
"St. Charles Capital has solid, experienced, likeable people who are very good at what they do. In choosing an investment bank, their focus on middle-market clients in specific industries was important to us. "
The St. Charles Capital bankers were tireless advocates and fearless negotiators, and they immediately built a high level of trust with us. They created a fabulous book that captured what Baxa was all about. St. Charles Capital also has a fantastic database. They were particularly good at arranging a new credit facility for the company at the same time as we completed the recapitalization."
- Gregory J. Baldwin, Chairman and CEO, Baxa Corporation
Farmers State Bank of Fort Morgan is a commercial bank with $132 million in assets.
"St. Charles Capital was straightforward in communicating the challenges and unknowns of the marketplace.
However, they professionally guided us through the selection of the initial contacts to maximize the number of positive responses while minimizing any street gossip that could have been detrimental to our ongoing business. Given the economic environment, we were extremely pleased with the number of prospective buyers showing bona fide interest and the resulting purchase proposals."
"We are convinced the guidance and service provided by St. Charles allowed us to obtain fair value for our sale. I always felt like I had support and sound advice through the entire process."
- Jerry K. Jones, President and CEO, Farmers State Bank of Ft. Morgan
Jabber Inc. is a developer of instant messaging solutions for enterprises.
"
St. Charles Capital has done a lot of deals in our space and they provided expertise about the process that was invaluable. They ended up being involved in many complex contractual issues outside the traditional scope of these efforts and their insights were both valuable and important. The team was also instrumental in working with our board, which was very critical in our situation."
"Valuation is certainly one of the most important parts of the transaction and SCC did a thorough and professional job of valuing the company three different ways. The result was that we were able to increase the initial offer significantly and to everyone’s surprise and satisfaction, this ended up being one of the smoothest parts of the entire negotiation."
- Paul F. Guerin, Former President and CEO, Jabber, Inc.
