Consolidation in the O&P industry has resulted in many
independent O&P firms facing decisions regarding potential
buyout offers. This session will offer guidance to the
independent facility seeking to evaluate the pros and cons
of agreeing to a buyout.
Topics to be covered include:
· Consideration of long-term employment protection
for owners;
· Protection of existing staff employment opportunities
after the buyout;
· Implications for benefits offered and compensation
packages given post buyout;
· Business valuation and the dollar value of “goodwill;”
· Analysis of “no compete” clauses; length of time and
distance considerations; and
· Stock options vs. cash purchase offers.
