Abstract

Landmark Facility Solutions presents a situation in which a medium-sized facility management company assesses whether to acquire a larger facility management company that is known for its high-quality services and technical expertise. The acquirer believes the acquisition will help it to become an integrated facility manager and enter new industries in its home market. The case focuses on valuing the acquisition opportunity and choosing the right financing for the transaction. It explores the interaction between corporate investment and financing and sets the stage for discussions about capital structure decisions. The case can be used in first-year MBA courses in corporate finance and financial strategy or second-year MBA courses in mergers and acquisitions and advanced corporate finance. It also can be used in an undergraduate finance course that covers mergers and acquisitions.
