Ten years ago, we engaged PCC to do a repurchase liability study and develop a strategic perpetuation plan. The plan completely changed our thinking about succession. We made a smooth ownership transition without “flying in the dark,” and revenues since have grown over 300 percent. To say the least, we´re the first to recommend them.
Very simply, we need to attract and keep the best talent. They basically showed us how, through the right type of ESOP, we could instill a culture of ownership. They created incentive and reward programs that helped us retain our key management team.
As a large privately held company, we wanted to make sure our management and associates could share ownership, and particularly for younger shareholders to create some personal liquidity. PCC did a masterful job guiding us through a complicated ESOP. What was especially impressive was how they worked with our attorneys, accountants and banks and how they communicated with 2800 associates to make it all happen so successfully.
