Services & Practices > Transactions and PPPs
Kalba International has advised on more than $35 billion of transaction-related cases, including M&A, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), spectrum auctions, and procurements. The individual transactions we have assisted on have ranged from $10 million to $10 billion in value.
Our specific services cover due diligence, valuation, ownership restructuring, PPP organization and closings, auction bid advisories, and major procurement process restructurings. We have also advised on related partner assessments and regulatory aspects.
Three sample cases follow.
Valuation of Mobile Operator
Serving as industry experts, we helped a large financial consultancy perform the valuation and due diligence of a large mobile operator as part of a dispute settlement process, involving the restructuring of the ownership of the operator. In the process we addressed a range of capex, opex and spectrum issues, including the deployment of next-generation technology.
Public Private Partnership
We helped structure and implement the tender for a fiber backbone and data center, serving as Transaction Advisor. This included attracting operator candidates from three continents, designing an evaluation and scoring approach to select the preferred operator, evaluating the bids, advising on the extent of the public sector role, and developing a monitoring framework for the PPP after its full activation.
Fixed-Mobile Due Diligence
This project in Asia involved an intensive M&A-based due diligence review of a fixed-mobile operator, including its technical operations, access to international IP, disaster preparedness, and readiness to absorb customer and traffic growth. It also entailed commercial and regulatory reviews in a very dynamic market situation, with two recent new entrants and a changing regulatory framework.
