Garage Sales
Financial firms divest legacy or discontinued operations in order to change their market narratives
and redeploy capital toward new business plans.
Divestiture motivation will be driven by timing instead of asset level net recoveries. Specifically, CFOs will
sell assets at attractive pricing based on the transaction's impact on next reporting date's earnings multiple.
Garage Sale assets commonly include C&I credits from outside the bank's primary service area;
low-growth geographies; or out-of-favor strategies like correspondent banking and non-profit banking.
As non-going concerns, these orphan strategies often trade at discount to book value.
OSP principals are experts in garage sale-type transactions, having sourced underwritten, closed and resolved
portfolios arising from M&A, bankruptcy & reorganization, discontinued business plans, and rival fund truncation.
Garage Sale transactions are crafted in the CFO's suite and evolve over the course of several months.
First mover advantage is contingent upon being a top-of-mind counterparty. Transactional experience and an ongoing
dialogue with the CFO suite are key.
In addition to being well-known from +25 years in the market, the OSP Team has transactional relationships with ±100
banks. OSP has recurring quarterly check-ins so that it has mindshare amongst bank CFOs and CEOs nationwide.
