Valoarea totala a tranzactiei se ridica la 1-1,5 milioane de euro, potrivit lui Stefano Colli-Lanzi, CEO Gi Group. “Oferta grupului italian pentru BMR a fost calculata la un multiplu de sase ori EBITDA (profit operational inainte de taxe, dobanzi, depreciere si amortizari – n.red.). S-a mers pe un EBITDA estimat pentru 2009, sotii Crocker primind 500.000 de euro in momentul tranzactiei, urmand ca in functie de performantele firmei din acest an, Charlie si Samantha sa mai primeasca o suma de bani”, spune, pentru Wall-Street, Mihai Pop (foto), partener in cadrul firmei de consultanta Osprey Partners, care a intermediat tranzactia dintre Gi Group si BMR.

“Am avut discutii cu mai multe firme din strainate, din care am ales oferta celor de la Gi Group. Grupul italian a cumparat pachetul majoritar, iar suma pe care am primit-o a fost calculata ca un multiplu de profit. Un multiplu foarte bun”, a declarat, pentru Wall-Street, Charlie Crocker, CEO BMR. Seful BMR nu a dorit sa precizeze care a fost valoarea tranzactiei si nici cat la suta din companie a ajuns in posesia italienilor.

BMR este un business de familie infiintat in 1999, detinut pana la inceputul acestui an de Charlie si Samantha Crocker. Pana in 2006, BMR a fost detinuta de mai multe persoane britanice, ulterior compania fiind preluata de catre sotii Crocker.

“We’ve talked to various foreign companies, and finally we have agreed to accept Gi Group’s bid. The Italian-based group bought the majority stake and the amount was calculated as profit multiple. A very good multiple”, Charlie Crocker, CEO of BMR told Wall-Street. The head of BMR refused to disclose the size of the deal and the stake involved in the deal.

BMR is a family business established in 1999, headed so far by Charlie and Samantha Crocker. Until 2006, the joint-stock company was held by various shareholders from UK, and fully acquired afterwards by Crocker family.
