Intending to make Messer Griesheim a more appealing prospective acquisition, Messer Griesheim management had actually drawn up a restructuring strategy as early as 2000. By late 2003 the personal equity gamers were prepared to leave and the Messer household upset for more control.
A number of elements remained in play: the household had a buy-back choice, the window which was rapidly closing; there were couple of possible tactical purchasers, offered the anti-trust concerns dealing with a European gamer thinking about purchasing the company; and the household made obvious of its desire to keep a piece of the company, at least, and some step of control. The case checks out the actions taken by the personal equity financiers to reorganize the company, and the relationship the partners created with the household owners, to produce a positive exit for the personal equity partners and ownership for the Messer household.
