Abstract

Kent Dauten, a former general partner at the Chicago private equity firm of Madison Dearborn Partners, has engaged in a search to personally sponsor a buyout in which he can play an active management role. He has received a selling memorandum for Record Masters, a records storage company providing management and retrieval services for active medical records to health care institutions. The case presents excerpts from the selling memorandum and asks students to assess the attractiveness of the opportunity, key risks, valuation, and deal structuring.
