Recapitalization
Brian recently represented G.H. Tool & Mold, Inc. (G.H. Tool) in connection with its majority recapitalization with Tooling Technology Holdings LLC (Tooling Tech), a portfolio company of GenNx360 Capital Partners (GenNx360). The deal closed in October 2015. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Washington, Missouri, G.H. Tool manufactures tooling and molds for tier-one suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across various end-markets, including automotive, aerospace and defense, outdoor products, and energy. Brian and his team assisted with evaluating offers and negotiated the equity interest purchase agreement and related documents over the course of several months. Said Gerry Hellebusch, founder and CEO of G.H. Tool, "Brian Bouquet and the Lewis Rice team vigorously represented our interests as seller while at the same time not losing sight of my goals to provide for our employees, customers, and suppliers going forward. We valued his advice and counsel throughout the entire transaction."
