Mergers & Acquisitions is not just a numbers game.

I have loved working with you two. You SO deserve it after what you have put up with
from our company. You guys are top notch and I have really enjoyed getting to know you.
I hope our paths will cross again one day and I have no doubt that perhaps we will work
together.

From the day we started the process, I felt like we were one team with a shared mission to
find the best strategic and economic partner for my business. [You folks] took the time to
learn my business and articulate my value proposition; they diligently pursued all
opportunities well beyond just the low hanging fruit; and they never missed a deadline. I
liked that [they] are industry agnostic. I think it made them look harder for potential
deals without pre-conceived ideas or existing relationships on the buyer’s side. What’s
more, they were an absolute pleasure to be around. I could not have asked for more and
would recommend them to anybody. I can honestly say I feel they earned every penny of
the fee – and I’m not very sure most sellers can usually say that about their bankers!

Strategic Life Science Communications Agency, CEO & Founder
We chose [them] because of their independence, confidential outreach and capability to
provide an extremely tailored approach. The team worked with us intimately to
understand our science, MOA and positioning, and with a very disciplined approach
reached key decision makers of domestic and international big-pharma and biotech
companies on an expedited basis. They made the entire process extremely easy given their
preparedness, transparency and in-depth insight of strategic players who would have an
interest in our platform.
-Dan,
Public Biotech Company, CEO
While we have been approached in the past with potential acquisition inquiries, they
never resulted in a successful deal for one reason or another. Working with [them]
allowed us to attract not only strong interest in the company, but also highly detailed,
quality offers from multiple parties, including private equity firms and large,
multinational firms from Asia and Europe. As a result of their strategic, proactive
approach, we were able to get higher EBITDA multiples than we thought possible and we
were able to choose the ideal buyer for our company, with the skills and resources that
will enable the company to grow and thrive in the years ahead.

We worked with the principals at Persient on business valuations over a period of many
years even before their current configuration. The team took time to understand just what
we were looking for and why it wasn't just an "out of the box solution". They were always
responsive in their delivery and understanding of our deadlines. They were insightful in
their interactions with management and board and a pleasure to work with. Their
assessment and understanding of both our industry and our ownership dynamics assisted
with our internal discussions and approvals.
-Steve,
Global Professional Services Firm, CEO
After owning my company for 21 years, I decided it was time to sell and move on. I spent
many years in the mortgage industry as my line of work and buying and selling homes was
second nature, how hard could it be? However, with all my research, I learned selling a
company could be a very stressful and emotional transaction, significantly different from
selling a home. So, I took the advice from many and interviewed several banking M&A
firms and decided to go with the principals of Persient. I felt their passion and experience
set them apart from other M&A firms I spoke with. As we went through the arduous
process of selling my company, their attention to detail, step by step support, and
friendship we built along the way was priceless. I highly recommend [them] and I'm
grateful for their help and guidance through this entire process. I always felt they had my
best interest at heart.

Mortgage Compliance Firm, CEO & Founder
After receiving an unsolicited indicative offer, we knew we needed a partner who could
help us negotiate and navigate the transaction process. Persient’s principals came highly
recommended from a colleague and we quickly engaged with them. They negotiated
favorable terms for us and made due diligence seamless. With minimal burden on me or
my team, we were able to close the transaction in only 45 days – in the depths of the
pandemic. Undergoing a transaction can be highly stressful and time consuming, but they
made it painless for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
