SUBJECT AREAS: Financial strategy, Leveraged buyouts, Mergers & Acquisitions, Venture capital

CASE SETTINGS: Argentina; 24 employees; 2001

The Exxel Group, a leading Latin American buyout fund, faces a challenge when deciding whether and how to exit its largest investment. The capital markets are very weak, precluding an initial public offering. Undertaking a trade sale of the firm, however, proves to be challenging.
