Differentiation Beyond Price: CD&R's Strategy in Acquiring Hussmann
內容大綱
In 2011, Ingersoll-Rand (IR) decided to divest its refrigeration equipment subsidiary, Hussmann International. However, the routine auction process for the non-core asset went awry when both Hussmann's performance and external finance markets weakened significantly during the due diligence period. IR's agent, JP Morgan, sought interest from potential buyers and focused on a few leading buy-out firms that submitted bids. After not seeing eye-to-eye with the initial auction winner, Ingersoll-Rand engaged exclusively with a lower bidder, the private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. The challenge for CD&R is to develop a deal structure that can meet both parties' needs, offering enough value to Ingersoll-Rand to keep them from walking away, yet taking into account the increased riskiness of Hussmann's recent performance to justify CD&R's valuation. The student takes the perspective of CD&R. Please visit the dedicated case website http://cases.insead.edu/hussmann to access supplementary material.
