Doncasters has replaced expensive secured borrowing with a $325 million unsecured revolver. The visible benefit is cheaper, more flexible funding; the less visible change is that a quarterly certificate will now determine the price, and a late or inaccurate one can make that…

Bowman’s Go-Shop Is a Two-Deadline Price Test

The most important date in Bowman Consulting Group’s sale process may not be the one that ends the auction. At 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on 13 September, the company’s right to solicit bidders narrows—but a qualified challenger can keep negotiating. The next date, 28 September…
