Reason #3: There Are Other Strategic Transactions Available
Even if a merger or acquisition doesn’t take place following the review of strategic alternatives, there are other alternatives available.
In the release, RTTR said that it would also be looking into asset sales, licensing deals and other potential transactions. While these wouldn’t lead to the immediate return that investors would see from an acquisition, they would lead to value growth.
At the end of the day, if the company were to sell an asset or two, it could use the funding to pay down debt and improve its balance sheet. The same could be true for licensing revenue, if a licensing deal is signed.
So, even if an acquisition didn’t happn, there’s still light at the end of the tunnel as a result of today’s news!
