Counsel to New York Investor on Convertible Preferred Deal in Music Tech
On behalf of a distinguished New York-based private investment firm, we advised on its follow-on convertible senior preferred investment in a leading software, data, financial, and management services provider serving music artists and independent record labels, at a post-money valuation of $1.6 billion. The transaction was structured through a dual-class special purpose vehicle, including a blocker entity to accommodate offshore fund investors. We structured and negotiated the convertible senior preferred investment, handling all aspects of the transaction, including drafting and negotiating investment documents, amending and restating blocker entity and SPV governing documents, and coordinating closing.
Navigating Complex Regulatory and Financing Requirements in Dual Amusement Machine Acquisitions
We represented a prominent private investment firm and its portfolio company, a leading operator of coin-operated amusement machines, in the acquisition of select contracts for a handful of locations from two coin-operated amusement machine businesses, representing a portion of the sellers’ overall operations, for an aggregate eight-figure purchase price. Each transaction was structured as a separate sign-and-close deal due to the need for regulatory approval. The representation involved comprehensive due diligence, structuring, and negotiation of asset purchase agreements for both transactions, including detailed schedules addressing the transfer of gaming equipment, route locations, and customer contracts. We navigated the unique regulatory considerations applicable to the coin-operated amusement industry, ensuring compliance with state licensing and permitting requirements governing the operation and placement of amusement machines. A critical component of the engagement involved documenting an amendment to the portfolio company’s existing credit agreement to facilitate the funding of the acquisitions. DE also coordinated closing logistics across both transactions, managing the execution of purchase agreements, bill of sale documentation, and assignment of location agreements.
Advised New York Firm on Strategic Sawmill Investment
We represented a highly regarded New York-based private investment firm in its investment in a strategically located sawmill, providing end-to-end transactional support from term sheet negotiations through closing. The engagement included legal and operational diligence, investment and tax structuring, and the negotiation of limited partner side letter protections, definitive investment documents, and ancillary closing agreements.
