Mergers and Corporate Acquisitions
NRC has extensive experience in completing merger and acquisition transactions for a variety of industry participants, and over the past several years has completed more than 20 such transactions. As participants in and sponsors of various industry-related conferences, NRC is current on the latest industry developments. Access to current market information is particularly valuable to clients seeking to acquire other companies or assets, or those desiring to sell their companies. In addition, NRC’s services are unique among financial advisors in that we provide in-depth advice and counsel on all aspects of the transaction, from beginning to closing, including proactive supervision and direction of all legal matters and advice on environmental and other structural and due diligence issues that often arise during the closing process.
Portfolio Evaluation and Analysis
NRC's senior real estate and financial professionals are uniquely qualified to evaluate and analyze real estate portfolios, for existing operations as well as portfolios which companies are considering selling or acquiring. Our decades of collective real estate and financial experience will prove critical in determining highest value and in accurately assessing risks of existing portfolios or potential sales or acquisitions. Our vast industry experience provides critical value to both buyers and sellers of convenience store assets.
Divestiture Activities
NRC's four decades of experience in the divestiture of real estate through sealed bid sales will serve its clients well in those situations where it makes the most sense to sell underperforming or non-strategic properties, or withdraw from markets. We have significant experience in divesting assets and portfolios in the shortest amount of time and with the greatest recovery for the client.
Financing Options
NRC's professionals have decades of experience in structuring multi-million dollar sale-leaseback and debt financing transactions, resulting in extensive contacts and relationships with the financial institutions which cater to the convenience store and petroleum industry. NRC has assisted clients in obtaining over $500 million in financing for convenience stores and gasoline stations. Whether a client is interested in (a) senior debt financing for an acquisition or new store development or a refinancing or (b) sale-leaseback fianancing for an acquisition, new store development or a recapitalization, NRC has the resources necessary to assist its clients in evaluating all financing alternatives and selecting the best one.
Workouts and Restructures
NRC and its professionals have been involved in all aspects of distressed scenarios affecting a multitude of industries, in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, receiverships, litigation and negotiated situations, such as loan and lease modifications. The wealth of legal, real estate, bankruptcy, financial and industry knowledge possessed by our team of professionals will prove invaluable in any engagement in this challenging economic environment.
