Closing the Deal – Minimizing Deal Friction & Getting to Close


Date: Thursday, February 23, 2023
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. ET
Location: Thompson Hine LLP, 312 Walnut St., Suite 2000, Cincinnati, OH 45202


Having a smooth transition between buyer and seller is paramount to the success of a deal. From culture differences, to deal terms, to choosing the right partners and more, there are many factors which could cause friction.

Join us for the third segment of the “M&A Growth Options Series” brought to you by First Financial Bank, VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm and Thompson Hine, where you will learn about getting your deal from the “letter of intent” stage to closed. During this segment, we will hear from industry leaders from each of the sponsor companies, as well as Rozy Park, who helped in the recapitalization and sale of the chemicals company her parents founded, Tedia Company. Rozy will discuss when the shareholders knew it was time to sell, divesting Tedia’s Chinese business prior to closing, picking a good partner, NewHold Enterprises, working with NewHold on important commercial and diligence matters prior to closing, and ultimately getting the deal closed.
