Testimonials

Silipos Incorporated

Now that our divestiture has been concluded, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the professionalism and effectiveness that was shown by your entire staff.

The Walden Group represented Silipos in a manner that reflected great credit both on our company and your organization.

I was most impressed, when even though we had acceptable offers on the table from other bidders which you had introduced, and it was in your best interest

for Silipos to accept one of those offers, you urged me to put off a decision and to give you the opportunity to pursue some other contacts before we finally committed. Your advice was right on target and always put our interest first.

Your extensive connections with companies interested in acquisitions in the healthcare field resulted in our having the choice of several entities with which to negotiate and resulted in transaction terms that were most satisfactory to our stockholders and our management team.

Scientific Associates, Inc. (now part of Celsis Laboratory Group)

My appreciation for your support stems to the entire spectrum of your efforts, for these purposes let us call it the three “Cs” of The Walden Group: contacts, communications and counseling. In the initial four month marketing phase I was continually impressed with the caliber of contacts that surfaced from your efforts. At the same time, I routinely felt informed and prepared for all of these contacts given your absolute commitment to communication. And finally, I want to personally thank you for your frankness and genuine concern which was ever present in your counseling….Last, but certainly not least, you directed our sales to our top dollar!

Republic Drug Company Inc.

Not only were we impressed with your professional approach while developing insight into our business, in structuring our data, and in developing an effective sales tool, but also in your targeting potential candidates and your follow-through.

Your efforts generated approximately 20 interested parties. You were especially helpful in the structuring of an offer, the ideal candidate selection process and keeping the project on track.

Thank you for your support and friendship and I would be pleased to review our positive experiences with The Walden Group with any of your future prospects.

Columbia Scientific Incorporated

As our attorney has said, your firm went well beyond what we expected from an investment banking firm in bringing about the sale of Columbia Scientific. You were integral to every step of the process.

During our negotiations and dealings with Materialise, you assisted our accountants, attorneys and company in providing expert advice and know-how. You kept the transaction on track during difficult moments, knowing when and how to push for better terms. Your trans-Atlantic efforts to complete the critical last-minute details for the international letter-of-credit were particularly commendable.

So much of the process involves trust and judgment, and Charlie and I felt 100% confident that you represented our best interests at all times.

It was a pleasure working with the Walden Group, and would enthusiastically recommend your firm to others.

I want to thank you for the outstanding service that you performed for our company. We respect the highly professional and ethical manner in which The Walden Group managed the process. It is rare that we have the opportunity of dealing with a firm that has the consistent quality and skillful transactional capability that has been displayed by your firm. I sincerely believe that The Walden Group is without equal in the medical market. I look forward to working with you on many transactions in the years to come.
