Twice DiversiTech has conducted a process requiring the expertise of investment bankers. In each case, we were determined to retain the very best. After spreading a wide net, including interviews and other exhaustive vetting processes, we selected [Capstone Partners]. In our most recent process, our [Capstone] team performed at a level well beyond our expectations. They worked diligently and brilliantly to achieve the objectives that we sought. Our transaction had numerous moving pieces, many of which took surprising turns. As new situations arose, we could count on calm, reassuring advice from [Capstone] followed closely by a well-thought through action plan expertly implemented. In my nearly 50 years of business experience, I have never had the opportunity of working with a professional firm with the extraordinary degree of expertise, energy, ethical comportment, and reliability than I have experienced with [Capstone]. I am grateful that we chose them to advise us in our recapitalization.
