Abstract
A U.S. venture capital firm has just learned that the deal structure for purchasing an illiquid U.K. software firm is unacceptable to institutional investors. The group must decide if it still wants to go through with the deal. This decision hinges on whether the investors are confident that their due diligence has uncovered all the issues that affect both the price the investors will pay for the company and the additional amount they need to provide to help it recover.
