Matix played a pivotal role as the lead advisor to T2R SPORTS, a prominent Brazilian investment firm, in their successful acquisition of a controlling stake in Rio Branco-ES SAF.
T2R Sports comprises a dynamic group of accomplished entrepreneurs from Espírito Santo who sought an opportunity to invest in a local club and propel the state to its rightful place in the big leagues of Brazilian football. Throughout our year-long partnership, Matix meticulously evaluated numerous prospects in Espírito Santo to identify the perfect match for T2R's strategic objectives. The process proved challenging, as most clubs in the region were ill-prepared to accommodate an investor and convert into a SAF. However, our adept negotiation skills and the establishment of trust with Rio Branco-ES management, developed through our extensive experience in previous transactions, facilitated smooth negotiations.
We provided comprehensive support to both the investors and the club, guiding them through the crucial aspects of the M&A process. This encompassed conducting thorough due diligence, drafting meticulous contracts, and establishing the investment vehicle that would govern the SAF.
