Matrix Capital Markets Group, Inc. established its Media & Communications Group in late 2014. Throughout 2015, Matrix’s Media & Communications team has advised on several transactions in the broadcasting, outdoor advertising and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP / FTTH) sectors. At the start of 2016, the team looks forward to another successful year advising its clients.
Many strategic buyers in the media and communications industries continue to consolidate certain sectors. In 2016, the consolidators will continue making acquisitions to gain economies of scale. As a result, many middle market operators are electing to sell entirely, or divest non-core divisions or assets. Other companies are raising additional capital to invest in growth opportunities.
Matrix can provide expert advice for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, as well as capital raises (debt and equity). Matrix’s proactive and broad-based sale process maximizes value, as well as delivers a high degree of certainty of closing. Our detailed understanding of strategic buyers is augmented by a database of over 2,000 financial acquirers. When raising capital, our extensive knowledge of debt and equity capital providers provides our clients with the best terms available.
