TESTIMONY

A ASSET Security International carries out an OBO transaction

Yoram ASSOUS, President of AASSET Security International, testifies:

“We had seemingly contradictory wishes: to develop at the European level, to retain control of the company and to realize part of our capital with different time horizons between partners.

The role that EURODEALS played in our maturation process was paramount.

They were a true catalyst for our thinking. They helped us structure a very thorough approach, allowing us to "profile" the AASSET Security group in order to carry out a management buyout (MBO). EURODEALS' support throughout the entire process (from choosing the transaction to signing with the investment fund AURELNEXTSTAGE) was crucial to the success of our fundraising operation.
