The vendors of the companies required careful hand holding as they had not been through an acquisitive process of this nature previously. The vendors and Nick entered the transaction some month after the sellers of the other companies and yet still managed to achieve closing within the desired timescale.
Nick combined his City experience (he was previously a lawyer specialising in real estate acquisitions at Ashursts) with the know-how of a business owner and sensitivity to the clients’ needs. LM

JLIF, the FtSE 250 international PPP investment company, has agreed the acquisition of a portfolio of 11 operational and yielding assets (the ‘Portfolio’), from Investors in the community LP (‘IIc’), for c. £123 million. the total consideration is consistent with the current valuations of similar projects in JLIF’s portfolio and will be satisfied either wholly in cash or partly in cash and partly by the issue of new ordinary shares in JLIF. any cash element of consideration will be funded by JLIF’s existing bank facility.
The acquisition will complete once the customary consent process has concluded. Following the acquisition, the total number of projects in the JLIF portfolio increases to 49, with an approximate aggregate valuation of £697.8 million.
The Portfolio comprises high quality, robust social infrastructure assets in the Education, Healthcare, Social Housing and Street Lighting sectors. The projects are all fully operational and supported by government-backed, inflation linked revenue streams.
Navigant provided the financial due diligence for JLIF, in a team led by Ed Goodall, Associate Director. Navigant reviewed the financial model and relevant aspects of the contract to ensure consistency between the two. A critical analysis of the vendor’s assumptions and an assessment of any other areas where value could be added were also undertaken. As appropriate the financial model was amended, which impacted on valuation. A particular challenge on this transaction was the short timeframe with which to analyse a large amount of information, necessitating a committed approach from Navigant’s consultants. LM
