Partner Steven Goldberg led a large team that advised Toronto Stock Exchange-listed financial services company ECN Capital in its take-private acquisition by an investor group led by global growth investor Warburg Pincus. The resulting all-cash transaction provides certainty of value for shareholders and will result in an attractive total shareholder return of over 200% since ECN Capital’s split from New York-based Element Financial Group in October 2016. CIBC Capital Markets served as exclusive financial advisor to ECN. The transaction received extensive coverage, including articles in Law360 and The Deal.
Additional BakerHostetler M&A team members included Partners Margaret Isa Butler, Brian Mulcahy and Douglas Vonderhaar, plus Associates David Marella, Jennifer Dare and Michael Greubel. Also providing support were Partners Patrick Campbell, Christopher Carolan, Brendan Clark, Danyll Foix, Matthew Gases, Kyle Gregory, Ashley Guffey, Brian Harris, Thomas Hogan, John Lehrer, Melissa Mannino, Brandon Marcus, Tony Roehl, George Skupski, Elizabeth Smith and Stefan Smith, Associates Macy Hawkins, Connor Jennings, Reed Leigh, Jeffrey Liskov, Richard Reis and William McClanahan.
