Expertise and Experience

MG Capital has a wealth of expertise and experience in a large variety of industries and transactions. Our principals have worked on critical assignments for AT&T, HBO, Singapore Telecom, Citigroup, Freddie Mac, and Macy’s, as well as for numerous early-stage companies with high-growth prospects. Our experience provides a unique toolkit that solves client problems, most often through innovative securities design, negotiation strategy, and value discovery. We enjoy a reputation for  creativity in finding ways to close complex transactions.

Unfair Advantage

We help our clients create a competitive advantage in transactions by seeking, uncovering, and exploiting unique sources of value that change opportunities and outcomes.

Some Examples Include:

Imaginative Research

While engaged in a highly-contested hostile takeover, we went deep into our client’s archives and read its original nineteenth-century Articles of Incorporation. We discovered an overlooked provision that stymied the potential acquirer and enabled the Board to negotiate a much higher price than first proposed.

Unique Work Product

For a telecom client, we built an unprecedented industry spreadsheet dis-aggregating nearly 80,000 separate customer accounts, circuit connections, and addresses (in multiple languages), providing the essential foundation for appropriate valuation and the logical division of assets.

Complexity Management

We designed a precedent-setting three-way communications merger/partnership between an American teleservices company, a Russian regional gas company, and a Hong Kong equipment supplier.

Opinions that Count

In our valuation opinion for the acquisition of OI Corporation by ITT, we supplied the first-ever use and publication of a Monte Carlo valuation analysis in a public merger proxy statement.
