ShoreView Announces Sale of TMI International, Inc.
ShoreView is pleased to announce the successful sale of TMI International, LLC (“TMI”) to River Associates Investments. ShoreView partnered with TMI through a leveraged recapitalization in September 2006.
Prior to ShoreView’s investment, the owner of TMI was seeking diversification of his net worth and a strong financial partner to pursue significant growth opportunities. ShoreView structured a transaction that:
- Provided liquidity to the owner and worked with him over time on leadership succession planning
- Allowed management to retain day-to-day operating control of the business
- Created an ownership incentive plan for key managers
- Structured a meaningful retained ownership position to the owner to provide for a second liquidity event
The results of this partnership were exceptional as ShoreView and TMI completed four complimentary add-on acquisitions, expanded TMI’s product lines and geographic reach, and added key managers to the team. As a result, the business more than doubled in revenue and EBITDA during ShoreView’s ownership period.
