AI Award for Excellence in Transaction Advisory Services 2019 “At Enzen, our Transaction Advisory solutions are designed to offer value for money and tangible business outcomes. In the style characteristic of Enzen’s other Centres of Excellence, we combine strategic insight with specialised ‘hands-on’ operational knowledge and practical experience. This means our customers, whether they’re seeking a buy or sell transaction, can draw on our real experience of asset operations in different geographies with different processes and regulations. “Such expertise significantly improves our customers’ position when they analyse potential acquisitions, equipping them with greater insights, in-depth knowledge and the opportunity to convert this into valuable returns.” Offering an example of how this expertise can be put to good use, Luis shares an insight into one of his department’s recent successful projects. “An example of the returns we offer is our recent work advising a customer that was aiming to acquire one of Spain’s biggest portfolios of renewable energy generation assets. As part of our due diligence service, we identified a number of improvements that would enhance the value of the investment and deliver greater economic impact. “Based on these results, the customer asked Enzen to run the operations of the full portfolio, applying our expertise and knowledge to the maintenance and operation of the assets in future. At the same time, we mapped out a way the customer could grow its new portfolio through further acquisitions and establish a bigger presence in the renewables sector.” Moving forward, Enzen is set to expand the Transaction Advisory department to further support its clients around the world. “Looking to the future, to ensure Enzen’s continued success our Transaction Advisory team is set to expand further through a series of regional hubs in the USA, Chile, Dubai, the Middle East and Australia. This will help us provide this service to an even wider array of clients. I’m incredibly excited about this development.” I Company: Enzen Name: Luis Suarez-Olea, Global Head of Transaction Advisory Address: Enzen, Calle Orense 34, Iberia Mart II, 6º floor. 28020, Madrid, Spain Telephone: +34 672 187 305 Web Address: www.enzen.com Luis Suarez-Olea Enzen
