Earnouts in ecommerce acquisitions: the not-so-tasty truth: Aggregators may promise a feast, but sellers often end up with an empty plate. Earnouts are a common structure in acquisitions, where sellers receive additional payments based on future performance. They're often used to bridge the valuation gap between what the seller wants and what the aggregator is willing to pay upfront. But here's the catch: earnouts typically come with stringent conditions and performance targets that can be difficult for sellers to meet, especially after handing over the reins. Before signing a deal with an earnout structure, consider the following: - Understand the performance targets and metrics used to calculate earnouts - Negotiate a clear and realistic payment schedule - Ensure you have a say in key business decisions post-acquisition - Consider alternative deal structures, like a higher upfront payment or equity stake Don't get left hungry, do your due diligence and understand the terms of your deal! Earnouts may seem appealing at first, but they can leave sellers with nothing but a empty plate. — #dtc #ecommerce #acquisitions #cpg

£2.5bn Barratt Redrow merger completes! Follow Sourced Recruitment Group for the latest updates and Jobs in the Northwest Residential Sector! The Competition and Markets Authority has approved Barratt’s acquisition of the Flintshire-based housebuilder. The £2.5bn merger means Redrow shareholders now hold approximately 32.8% of the combined group and Barratt shareholders have approximately 67.2%. The housebuilders estimate the deal, first announced in February, could result in savings of £90m a year. Now Barratt’s acquisition of Redrow has completed, the company boasts a pipeline of almost 100,000 homes across the UK. Due to the size of the deal, the CMA launched a review to explore whether it would result in a monopoly in the housing market. The CMA raised concerns about an 11-mile radius around Whitchurch in Shropshire, which includes Nantwich over the border in Cheshire, where the two companies have significant land holdings. The CMA was concerned that this could lead to “higher prices and lower quality homes for homebuyers” in the area. However, Barratt Redrow was able to address the CMA’s concerns, allowing the deal to complete. David Thomas, chief executive of Barratt said: “Today is a significant milestone for Barratt Redrow, as we come together as one organisation. “With this combination, we have created an exceptional housebuilder in terms of quality, service and sustainability, able to accelerate the delivery of the homes this country needs. Together, we offer a broader range of homes and price points for our customers who we will continue to put at the heart of everything we do.” He added: “Our focus now is on integrating our businesses as efficiently and effectively as we can to deliver the expected benefits of the combination. We will leverage the best of both companies to deliver significant benefits to our people, our customers and our supply chain partners, and ensuring that Barratt Redrow is set up to deliver long term value to all of its stakeholders.” Barratt Redrow’s share price was 482p at the time of writing. Share prices were down across the board at other listed housebuilders. Credit - Place Northwest #newbuildhomes #residentialdeveloments #sourcedrecruitmentgroup https://lnkd.in/ds_WNSCa

Barratt Homes / Redrow merger expected to complete this week Barratt intends to complete its £2.5 billion merger with Redrow this week, after waiving a Competitions and Markets Authority (CMA) condition for approval. At the same time, the two housebuilders are “continuing to engage” with the CMA over a concern that their presence in Whitchurch, Shropshire “could lead to higher prices and lower quality homes for homebuyers in this catchment area” as reported on August 8. In a statement today (August 19), Barratt said the waiver of the CMA condition would eliminate uncertainty for the employees, supply chain and wider stakeholder groups of both companies and “allows us to accelerate the creation of an exceptional UK homebuilder in terms of quality, service and sustainability, which in turn can accelerate the delivery of high-quality, sustainable homes and communities for customers across the UK, addressing the country's need for homes”. The two housebuilders said they expected the CMA to apply an initial enforcement order (IEO), preventing further integration of the two businesses until the CMA’s inquiry is satisfied. Barratt still intends to complete its integration plan within 18 months of the merger’s completion this week. But the imposed IEO means that certain elements are subject to CMA approval. These include appointing Matthew Pratt to the board of the combined group and Nicky Dulieu and Geeta Nanda as non-executive directors and the name change of the combined business to Barratt Redrow. The merger is being implemented through a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement. A court sanction is scheduled to take place on August 20. On February 7, it was announced that Barratt had agreed to buy Redrow. The recent Housing Market Intelligence Report shows that the combined housebuilder, looking at recent years, could build more than 22,000 homes a year on a turnover of £7.4 billion. On March 16, the CMA announced it was investigating the deal. It has considered whether the deal would result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services. On August 8, the CMA said the merger raised competition issues in an 11-mile area of Whitchurch, Shropshire. Here, there are four Barratt developments and one Redrow scheme. It noted that both housebuilders held a “high combined share of land” in the catchment area centred around the Barratt development at Tilstock Road, with the addition of Redrow’s scheme at Kingsbourne, Nantwich. But the CMA also said that the merger did not trigger UK-wide competition concerns. Barratt and Redrow said today that they were continuing to engage with the CMA to agree “suitable undertakings”, avoiding the need for a full Phase 2 investigation.
