Five Arrows takes majority stake in A2mac1

This transaction represents a primary leveraged buyout marking the first entry of a private equity sponsor into the company's capital. Following a highly competitive auction process managed by a premier investment bank, the incoming financial partner secured absolute majority control, allowing the founding shareholders to exit their positions. The deal follows a period of rapid internationalization and the establishment of a dominant technical database that has become an industry standard for global manufacturers. To capitalize this operation, the structure includes a tailored unitranche and subordinated debt package provided by a specialized asset manager, including a dedicated acquisition line to support the next major phase of geographic expansion into new emerging markets.
