Due diligence
The primary focus of the HR due diligence is around potential deal breakers, finding the right purchase price and integration risks
HR due diligence focus Potential deal breakers Potential deal breakers Purchase price: pensions, HR-related liabilities, personnel cost Value leakage: key employee attrition, integration barriers and cost
No deal breakers found Purchase price: Net liabilities for pensions and similar obligations amount to €0.5 million taking into account p g g
liabilities and pension assets held off and on balance sheet. Given the complexity of transferring plan assets, it is recommended to include pension
liabilities of €2.7 million in net debt (and don’t attempt to transfer any plan assets).Ri k Risks: FFB does not seem to operate its own HR department. Include amount in integration model. There is no information on key employees or performance ratings available. Managing directors are seen as the leaders of the target If the o ld lea e other ke Managing directors are seen as the leaders of the target. If they would leave, other key
employees are also likely to leave. We strongly recommend implementing a retention plan. Relocation to the buyer’s premises may trigger terminations and should be planned carefully. FFB operates in a German cultural environment whereas FIL is a global enterprise.
