Deal
Royaan Group sold the oriental snacks producer Tjendrawasih, located in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, to the bake-off and bread snacks company Dutch Bakery together with Standard Investment. Royaan has been part of NPM Capital – the private equity vehicle of SHV Holdings from the Fentener van Vlissingen family – since 2007, after the acquisition of Cold Food, well-known for its Kwekkeboom en Van Dobben brands. Tjendrawasih was acquired by Royaan Group in 2010 from the Tan family, but continued to operate as an independent unit. At the same time as the sale of Tjendrawasih, Royaan also divested its non-oven snack activities related to Kwekkeboom and Van Dobben to snack producer Van Geloven.
Role Yuno Advisors
We assisted the seller Royaan Group in the entire limited controlled auction sale process. Our advisory services covered all aspects of the process, including contacts with potential acquirers, drafting of the information memorandum, financial modelling and budgeting, process documentation, drafting of a letter of intent, due diligence co-ordination, assisting in deal negotiations and transaction documentation. Moreover, we advised the manager of Tjendrawasih, Winus Sloot, in addition to the general sale process also with regard to his envisaged management participation.
