The Client and Situation

Blue Key Equity Partners was evaluating strategic alternatives for a healthcare staffing portfolio company, including a potential minority or majority transaction with a strategic party.

Before substantive discussions could move forward, Blue Key needed materials that clearly presented the company, opportunity, and strategic rationale.

The investment case had to be distilled into a concise narrative without losing the substance expected by a sophisticated counterparty.

The Transaction Objective

The objective was to prepare Blue Key for an important strategic discussion.

The materials needed to communicate the portfolio company’s business, strategic relevance, and potential transaction opportunity while remaining closely aligned with Blue Key’s own view of the company.

The work required both narrative judgment and fast execution.

The Constraint

Blue Key had approximately ten days to prepare.

The firm also operated with a lean internal team and did not want senior investment professionals absorbed in presentation production and iterative drafting.

7Alder needed to quickly understand the opportunity, structure the story, incorporate feedback, and deliver finished materials within the required timeframe.

The Work Performed

7Alder worked with Blue Key to convert the firm’s view of the company and transaction into a focused set of strategic materials.

The work included:

• Structuring the transaction narrative
• Organizing the information required for the strategic discussion
• Developing the primary transaction presentation
• Preparing concise supporting materials
• Building additional narrative investment documentation
• Incorporating feedback throughout the process
• Refining the materials around Blue Key’s strategic objectives
• Completing the full workstream within approximately ten days
