Our Investment Approach and Acquisition Process

Catalina is interested in acquiring companies with net tangible assets, shareholders funds or surplus, of between $50 million and $500 million, although we will consider acquisitions outside of these parameters. Generally we would expect loss reserves to vary significantly between, and even below, shareholders funds and up to $2.5 billion or $3.0 billion. 


Our internal evaluation process rapidly considers the main issues and aims of a prospective transaction to provide an appropriate solution. Where a deal is viable, our initial assessment, which is conducted by our own executive management, is aimed at producing an indicative offer based on the initial information provided.


The second phase of our evaluation is a more detailed due diligence involving Catalina’s own resources and, where necessary, external resource so as to minimise the time commitment required from and disruption caused to the vendor's business. We have the necessary resources and skill sets in-house to consider all the key actuarial, financial and legal issues arising from an initial due diligence review.


Catalina’s internal decision making process is short, requiring no more than board approval to make investments, so we are able to provide a high level of confidence of our interest in any particular prospect very early in the process.

 

We undertake to provide a rapid and constructive response to prospective acquisition proposals. If you wish to discuss any prospective transaction, please contact us.
