West Chester, PA — Schramm, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the successful sale of substantially all its assets to an affiliate of GenNx 360 Capital Partners (“GenNx”) from its Chapter 11 case in the District of Delaware. FocalPoint Securities, LLC acted as the Company’s exclusive investment banker in connection with this transaction.
Regarding the transaction, CEO Craig Mayman said, “While Chapter 11 is never a preferred route, this transaction allowed us to efficiently revitalize the balance sheet, emerging with stronger relations with our key vendors and better positioned to execute on our turnaround strategy.” He continued, “Working with the experienced professionals at FocalPoint provided the management team the necessary guidance to work through this transaction.”
Michael Fixler, Managing Director who heads FocalPoint’s Special Situations practice, commented, “We were able to work together with the management team to canvass the market for potential strategic and financial buyers while they maintained the customer and vendor relationships that were essential to preserving enterprise value. Ultimately, all the Company’s assets, operations and employees across the world were transferred to the new operating company, and customers of this 100-year old company can be assured of continued product support and parts supply as well as a source for future, best-in-class, drill rigs when the market tailwinds take hold.”
