Electra hires Rothschild over Allflex options
Electra Partners has hired Rothschild to advise on the future of animal identification tags business Allflex, according to reports.
The investment bank's advice could lead to a refinancing. The business, which specialises in the production of visual and electronic animal identification tags, is said to be worth up to $1bn (10x EBITDA). An Electra spokesperson confirmed that the investor intends to remain a stakeholder in the business.
Electra acquired Allflex in December 1998 for $45m from Goldman Sachs. In June 2005, the company was refinanced, resulting in $79m in proceeds. Following the refinancing, Electra's stake in the business was worth $61m.
