F i nance Month l y M&A Awards 2021 - 85 - - AUSTRALIA - Allunga has an established track record of successful transactions over the past 25 years, as a team we have completed over 300 transactions for public and private companies: • We specialise in transactions valued in the $20m–200m+ range • M&A (buy side & sell side), equity and debt raising capabilities • Broad sector expertise including Technology, Retail, Media, Telecommunications, Professional and Financial Services and General Industrials. Our Values Accountability We deliver for our clients; we do what we say we will do. The way we prepare and manage a transaction creates superior outcomes for our clients (think strategically; high quality advice; focus on results, not process; bias to action, not analysis) Integrity We act in the best interest of our clients at all times while always keeping in mind the bigger picture and the longer horizon (client focused, not conflicted; complete honesty; fair and unbiased approach). Passion We love what we do, we choose to work together in a boutique structure because we feel it delivers best for our client as well as ourselves (care intensely about company and client successes; tenacious and driven). Creativity We find and design solutions where others say “too hard” or cannot see value (learn rapidly; seek to understand; challenge prevailing assumptions; broad knowledge; superior outcomes). Boldness We tell our clients and our counterparties what they need to hear not always what they want to hear (say what you think; challenge prevailing views; make tough decisions; take smart risks). Collaboration We work closely with our clients in a complementary and symbiotic manner, learning from each other to create superior outcomes (ask questions; share ideas and thoughts; open minded; no wrong answers; mutual respect).
