About

The Exit Excellence for Industry Leaders Webinar Series is designed to give owners and executives of industrial and manufacturing businesses practical, real-world insight into building value and preparing for a successful exit. Each session breaks down complex M&A, valuation, and succession topics into clear, actionable guidance, helping leaders make smarter decisions long before a transaction is on the table. Whether you plan to sell in the near term or simply want to run a more resilient, valuable business, this series provides the perspective, tools, and clarity needed to prepare on your terms.

What You’ll Learn in This Session

Master the non-price deal terms that
significantly impact actual proceeds. This session decodes earnouts,
representations and warranties, indemnification caps and baskets, escrow
holdbacks, working capital adjustments, and seller notes. Attendees will learn
when to push back in negotiations and how to protect themselves from
post-closing disputes and clawbacks.

This event is part of a comprehensive year-long series.
When registering, you also have the option to select previous sessions to gain access to their recordings. Simply indicate the sessions you’d like included as part of your registration.
