Seeking Distressed Assets and Special Environmental Situations Worldwide We seek real estate assets that are dark or need repurposing, operating companies, undergoing complex operational or financial challenges or good companies with legacy liability overhang, such as asbestos or environmental or legal challenges. Our company is a generalist regarding business focus or sector and has been able to overcome significant challenges to unlock value. Flacks Group does not solely rely on historical performance as an indicator of future potential. Our team brings both expertise and creativity to solutions to attempt to unlock value. We do not believe achieving success requires a rigid formula, but rather a bespoke solution developed overtime.Our primary focus is a carve out, spinoff and divestiture of a non-core/underperforming division from a sizable multi national parent company where the process is broken or tired. We also look for real estate assets that are challenged due to an upside down capital structure, a downturn in the local regional economy or a legacy liability that provides an overhang on the property in question. Flacks Group works with major global corporations to structure and provide solutions for legacy liability or contingent risk such as asbestos, environmental and toxic tort claims enabling those firms to achieve certainty and fidelity.We promise: complete confidentiality, solutions that deliver for all parties, protection of vital interests, such as the parent company brand, business continuity is maintained throughout the transaction by close collaboration with acquired businesses and employees. We use our own capital and have deep operational resources. We can close quickly without receiving reps or warrantees. Reach out to me to present any situations you believe may fit our model. I promise a fast response.
