Commenting on the announcement, Shane Watson said: "I am absolutely delighted with this outcome; we have worked tirelessly to get PLM Global to the stage it is at today. With our experienced and strong-skilled board of directors, I have every faith that we will progress further."
SME Capital Regional Director, Timothy House, added “PLM have established a very successful business which is well placed in the current macroeconomic environment, Shane’s motivation and drive to grow the business was evident from the first meeting and Shane’s knowledge of the sector as well as strong relationships with key customers/suppliers should help drive the business forward."
SME Capital provided a bespoke 7 figure funding solution which included a bullet repayment in order to soften the cash repayment profile.
PLM Global was advised by HSKSG Corporate Finance Specialists with Chris Matthews commenting, "We were engaged by Shane Watson to assist with the buyout of his fellow shareholders of PLM Global Limited and seek funding for the transaction. SME Capital acted quickly to put forward a proposal that worked for our client. The process from initial contact and discussions around the funding proposal through to drawdown was very smooth and efficient that has seen Shane take full ownership of the business."
