We structure our buyouts so that selling shareholders, management and employees, and their communities realize the substantial tax, financial and employee performance improvements provided by properly structured ESOP transactions. Because of these substantial advantages, our deals usually provide more overall benefits to all parties involved than those sponsored by other private equity investment companies. Our buyouts are structured to yield the following benefits:

Selling Shareholders:
• Realize more net after-tax proceeds than from selling to other financial buyers
• Consummate transactions that provide unmatched benefits to your employees and your management
• For individual or family shareholders: defer the capital gains from the sale of your closely- held corporation for many years and potentially indefinitely

Management:
• Receive attractive compensation packages
• Manage a tax-advantaged entity that can make acquisitions and/or grow faster than the competition
• Realize benefits of employee ownership, both personally and for all employees
• Co-invest (if desired) with Intrepid Capital Group

Employees & Community:
• In traditional buyouts, employees are an after-thought. In Intrepid Capital Group’s buyouts, employees realize a meaningful long-term equity stake in the business, which typically increases both their total compensation and productivity.
• Our buyouts leave corporations intact, enabling a company to maintain its place in the general community. Widespread employee ownership and the corresponding accumulation of wealth improve the financial standing of the company’s local communities in which employees interact.
