Sale of Digital Media business – sport, mobile and video
Zac Zavos
CEO, Conversant Media
“I recently retained Phil to advise on the potential strategic sale of our business, Conversant
Media, one of Australia’s leading digital media businesses.
We had received informal expressions of interest in the business over the years, but we felt it
important to have someone with deep experience steer the process. Phil managed this process
from beginning to end including assisting with preparation of investor materials, approaching a
select group of strategic players, and setting up the virtual due diligence data room.
Phil’s knowledge of the sector, the issues, the potential buyers, and the challenges with
completing a transaction (across legal, tax and operations), were instrumental in a successful
outcome for all parties.
We achieved a strong result and I would recommend Phil to other businesses seeking similar
advice and experience.”

Sale of Digital Media ad sales business in AU and NZ
Grant Allaway
Owner, AD2ONE Group
“I was introduced to Philip in August 2015 with a view to making an exit from the AU and NZ
markets. He immediately understood the current business, its customer proposition and
importantly, was well connected with potential purchasers in major international markets.
Towards the end of 2015, he presented the business as an acquisition opportunity to several
local and international advertising technology and advertising sale companies. Once we had
received a number of offers, then term sheets, Philip managed and led the due diligence process
and ensured we successfully navigated the issues and challenges to completing the transaction
across legal, tax and business operations.
This was a challenging transaction with several entities in different territories, with multiple
currencies and time zones. Unusually the sellers, buyers, corporate advisor and lawyers never
met in person. Phil worked over the holiday season to ensure we closed the transaction before
the end of 2015.
Phil's knowledge of the sector, as well as his overall business and M&A experience, were
instrumental in closing the deal when major USA advertising technology company, Gravity 4,
acquired the business in late 2015.
I achieved a strong result and I would recommend Philip to any business seeking similar advice
and experience.”

Sale of B2B SaaS business – human resources and surveys
Lanning Bennett
CEO and Founder, COI Group”
“I met Philip in August 2014 with a view to receiving advice about the right strategic path and
potential exit for my HR SaaS business, COI Group. He immediately understood the current
business, its customer proposition, and importantly, he advised how to best achieve a successful
exit.
Towards the end of 2014, we presented the business as an acquisition opportunity to several
software and professional services companies. Once we had received offers, then terms sheets,
Philip managed the due diligence process and ensured we successfully navigated the issues and
challenges to completing the transaction across legal, tax and business operations.
Phil's knowledge of the sector, as well as his overall business and M&A experience, were
instrumental in closing the deal in early 2015, when ASX-listed SaaS company 8common
acquired 100% of the business for cash.
I achieved a very strong result and I would recommend Philip to any business seeking similar
advice and experience.”

“Phil advised us on the Eatability acquisition and helped to navigate a range of structuring and
diligence related issues.
The Eatability transaction was the first for Optus in the digital space and his guidance was
instrumental in helping us get to completion with an orderly process.
It was a pleasure to work with Phil and his colleagues on the transaction and would be happy to
recommend their work”

Sale of B2B SaaS business – human resources and surveys
Justin Butterworth
Joint-CEO, Occupancy.com
“I worked with Philip in 2010 and 2011 when he first approached me as co-CEO of
Occupancy.com. At that time Phil advised that the timing was right in the online travel industry to
commence strategic partnering and M&A discussions with the major local and international
media and online travel companies. During this process Phil managed the development of our
detailed Information Memorandum, Investor Presentation and Financial Forecasts. The
transaction was completed following a competitive multi-party process, leading to a complete
sale of Occupancy.com to Fairfax for $29m - a superior result.
Throughout this nine month engagement Phil was professional, good-humoured and collegiate,
working with a diverse team of legal, tax, and financial experts to ensure the transaction was
completed. His operational experience, strategic advice, as well as his knowledge of post-
acquisition integration issues, were all valuable.
I enjoyed working with Phil and would recommend him to anyone seeking similar transactional,
strategic or operational advice.”
