3 Mission Statement "The success of a company is determined not by its size, but by its ability to react quickly to changes in its environment." Bea/ Haas: Strategisches Management, 2001 Structural change and environment-friendly economic growth are closely related. Our contribution lies in assisting companies and other institutions to develop the flexibility they need to react to external changes. We provide the conceptual framework for changes and, upon request, will make arrangements for implementing those changes. We improve companies' chances of attaining strategic goals and help to realize such goals. Our company is set up and run in a way that enables us to react with flexibility to meet clients' needs at competitive prices. We also are happy to work with other qualified partners in pursuit of the client's interests. Our business is focused on real-world implementation. When the wind of change is blowing, some people build walls, while others build windmills. Chinese saying We support our clients in building windmills, not walls. Our job is to make sure that the wheels can turn.

5 Strategy Consulting and Strategy Implementation Market and competitive analyses (and frequently site and regional analyses, as well) are prerequisites for strategic decision-making and for decisions on company acquisitions and investments. We can offer you - working in conjunction with other specialized partners - analyses tailored to whatever degree of detail you desire. On the basis of our investigations, we formulate targeted and practical strategic recommendations. Our recommendations encompass economic, legal and technological aspects. Frequently, strategy implementation also involves company acquisitions and disposals. We specialize in this area, in particular. For us, the M&A strategy is a part of the overall company strategy. The analysis and design/conceptualization phase of the M&A strategy include company and competitive analyses, as well as determining the acquisition strategy.

We will assume responsibility for coordinating negotiations and coordinating with external advisers whom you wish to include in the process. Where necessary, we will also consult with other experts. In the case of company disposals, it is often advisable to carry out a "vendor due diligence" procedure (an examination of the assets being sold, commissioned by the seller). Especially in cases where there are several potential buyers, the vendor due diligence procedure serves to increase the efficiency of the sales process, while minimizing the stress on employees of the company or operations being sold.

12 Due Diligence Performing a due diligence check is a standard procedure during acquisitions. In many instances, adequate due diligence is mandated by the statutory fiduciary duties of members of the Board of Directors and CEOs. The scope of the due diligence required is determined by the size and complexity of the transaction. Frequently, it is advisable to provide for a multi-stage due diligence procedure, so that the due diligence can be cut short if a "deal breaker" is identified. Because there are advantages, we are happy to collaborate with qualified partners in certain areas of due diligence. We will also be happy to cooperate with your tax consultants, auditors and attorneys. If you give us the commission to do so, we will take over the coordination of all outside experts involved in the due diligence process.
