Summit Partners - The FleetCor Investment (A)
By: Michael J. Roberts
Abstract
Part of a 3-case series in which students get to see the unfolding of due diligence on private equity (buy out) deal. In this, the A case, the deal team has negotiated a letter of intent with FleetCor, a firm that operates a fuel payment network for vehicle fleets. Presents the basic investment thesis and analysis that the team has done to get to this stage. Asks students to not only come to a point of view on whether this looks like a good opportunity at the price and financial structure proposed, but what due diligence needs to be done prior to actually writing the check.
