Aurora Capital Group deepens its cross-border M&A and capital structure advisory services, serving European manufacturing and energy companies expanding overseas.

In July 2024, Aurora Capital Group announced an expansion into cross-border M&A and capital structure advisory, focusing on serving the overseas expansion needs of European manufacturing and energy companies. This strategic move not only extends Aurora’s diversified business development but also demonstrates the company’s proven expertise in global capital market resource integration, investment research capabilities, and risk management.

For cross-border M&A, Aurora utilizes a dual-hub structure to coordinate the expertise of its New York and Madrid teams. The New York team focuses on macroeconomic and industry analysis of target markets, assessing the valuation rationality, growth potential, and financial health of potential acquisition targets. The Madrid team oversees due diligence for European corporate clients, interprets policies and regulations, and designs cross-border transaction structures. The two teams share due diligence data and transaction models in real time through an information system, enabling cross-time zone collaboration and rapid decision-making.

Our capital structure advisory practice focuses on optimizing corporate financing arrangements, ensuring efficient capital utilization and manageable risk during overseas expansion. Aurora combines debt, equity, and hybrid financing instruments to design flexible capital structure solutions for European manufacturing and energy companies, balancing financial costs, cash flow stability, and growth objectives. Furthermore, the company uses scenario simulations and stress testing to assess the robustness of different capital structures in the face of interest rate fluctuations, market volatility, and macroeconomic uncertainties.

Aurora maintains consistent standards in transaction execution and risk management. A real-time monitoring system covers transaction progress, market prices, foreign exchange, and interest rate fluctuations, ensuring that cross-border mergers and acquisitions are completed swiftly and in compliance with regulations. The Investment Committee and Risk Management Team jointly review transaction structures and potential risks, develop response plans, and mitigate uncertainty in mergers and acquisitions and financing, providing clients with robust transaction support.

In terms of customer service, Aurora transparently presents cross-border transaction structure design, risk analysis, and potential benefits to corporate management through customized reports and an online communication platform. Clients can clearly understand transaction logic, funding arrangements, and potential risks, while receiving rapid strategic advice tailored to market dynamics. This institutionalized, data-driven communication model strengthens corporate trust in Aurora’s services and fosters the establishment of long-term strategic partnerships.

Management noted that deepening its cross-border M&A and capital structure advisory services represents a strategic upgrade for Aurora’s global investment and corporate services offerings. By integrating global investment and research resources, optimizing transaction structures, and strengthening risk management, the company is able to provide high-quality, professional overseas expansion solutions for European manufacturing and energy companies in complex international markets.

As of July 2024, Aurora Capital Group has made steady progress in its cross-border M&A and capital structure advisory business, successfully serving a number of European manufacturing and energy companies in their overseas expansion, further consolidating the company’s professional position in the global institutional investment and corporate strategic services market, and laying a solid foundation for the future development of cross-border financial services.
