Description

Non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system

[0001] The present invention relates to a non-face-to-face MNA brokerage system.

[0002] M&A (Merger and Acquisition) is a corporate expansion strategy, as well as a strategy of selection and concentration. As living organisms, companies must constantly implement survival strategies to adapt to changing environments and the survival of the ecosystem. One way to achieve this is through M&A, the buying, selling, dividing, and merging of companies and assets.

[0003] Meanwhile, the internet, which emerged in 1990, has completely transformed our daily lives. We see and consume the world through the internet, and access all goods and services. In other words, we live in an era of algorithmic internet everything, a so-called "digital platform" that is rapidly expanding into diverse fields.

[0004] M&A is no different. Despite the emergence of various digital communication tools like video conferencing, virtual data rooms, and electronic signatures, and the significant social consensus formed especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, these technologies are not properly reflected in M&A, leading to the proliferation of so-called "foot-dragging" M&A deals.

[0005] Of course, the government, public corporations, and some internet service providers are opening digital platforms under the names of M&A brokerage networks and M&A brokerage systems. However, they are limited to registering information on target companies and rudimentary matching between M&A parties, and thus cannot be considered true digital platforms.

[0006] A digital platform is one where all processes, from matching to transaction conclusion in a two-sided market, must be executed on the platform. For example, in the case of e-commerce, product sourcing, display, ordering, and payment would all take place within the platform.

[0007] [Prior Art Literature]

[0008] Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0072148

[0009] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system that matches parties and provides solutions for each stage leading to the conclusion of the transaction through a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system without face-to-face contact between the M&A parties, thereby supporting convenience, accuracy, and low cost.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problem, a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system includes an information management module that updates whether to continue posting information periodically after M&A information is registered by an M&A selling party; a search and matching module that searches and matches M&A listing information; a purchase information processing module that supports the writing and submission of a letter of intent to acquire and a confidentiality agreement written by a purchasing party in connection with an M&A posting for M&A listing information; a corporate value calculation module that calculates a provisional (estimated) selling price of M&A listing information; and a purchaser registration module that, when information on a company desired to be acquired is registered on a terminal of an M&A purchasing party, provides information on the registration fact to an email address registered on the terminal of the M&A purchasing party.

[0011] In one embodiment, the information management module is characterized in that it inquires of the M&A selling party about whether to continue the announcement of the sale information among the M&A listing information input from the M&A selling party terminal according to a predetermined cycle, and executes the continuation or withdrawal of the announcement depending on whether there is a response.

[0012] In one embodiment, the search matching module is characterized in that it extracts M&A selling companies that match a search keyword entered by a purchasing party on a terminal, and then provides the corporate performance, selling price, company industry, and location of each of the extracted M&A selling companies in ascending or descending order.

[0013] In one embodiment, the purchase information processing module is characterized by supporting viewing of a list of M&A properties at an M&A purchase party terminal, and, when any M&A property in the list of M&A properties viewed at the M&A purchase party terminal is selected, supporting a function for writing a letter of intent to acquire the corresponding M&A property, and supporting a function for uploading supporting materials (financial information, proof of funds, etc.) for proving the acquisition capacity of the M&A purchase party.

[0014] In one embodiment, the corporate value calculation module is characterized in that, if the M&A target is a listed company, it calculates a provisional (estimated) sale price based on “recent closing price,” “total number of shares,” “sales share ratio,” “total capital,” and “future cash flow,” and, if the M&A target is an unlisted company, it calculates a provisional (estimated) sale price based on “total number of shares,” “sales share ratio,” “total capital,” “future cash flow,” and “corporate competitiveness index.”

[0015] In one embodiment, the purchase registration module is characterized in that, after registering the purchase information of an M&A purchaser, when M&A sale information within a range set by the M&A purchaser is registered on the platform, the corresponding M&A sale information is provided to the M&A purchaser terminal.

[0016] Therefore, by utilizing a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system according to one embodiment of the present invention, there are advantages in that it can resolve security issues, eliminate information monopolies through decentralization, and enable fair competition and transparent system evaluation of corporate value through the participation of more market participants.

[0017] Additionally, all procedures leading to matching and transaction conclusion between parties are executed within the platform, simplifying transactions and significantly reducing time and costs. Furthermore, the platform offers the advantage of excellent security due to its non-face-to-face structure design, which does not involve any human intervention.

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present specification will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this should not be construed as limiting the technology described in the present specification to specific embodiments, but rather as including various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments of the present specification. In connection with the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar components. In the present specification, expressions such as "has," "may have," "includes," or "may include" indicate the presence of a corresponding feature (e.g., a component such as a number, function, operation, or part), and do not exclude the presence of additional features.

[0025] As used herein, the phrases “A or B,” “at least one of A and / or B,” or “one or more of A or / and B” can include all possible combinations of the listed items. For example, “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” or “at least one of A or B” can all refer to (1) including at least one A, (2) including at least one B, or (3) including both at least one A and at least one B.

[0026] As used herein, the expressions "first," "second," "first," or "second," etc., can describe various components, regardless of order and / or importance, and are only used to distinguish one component from another, but do not limit the components. For example, a first user device and a second user device can represent different user devices, regardless of order or importance. For example, without departing from the scope of the rights described in this specification, a first component could be referred to as a second component, and similarly, a second component could also be referred to as a first component.

[0027] When it is said that a component (e.g., a first component) is "(operatively or communicatively) coupled with / to" or "connected to" another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that the component is directly coupled to the other component, or may be connected via another component (e.g., a third component). Conversely, when it is said that a component (e.g., a first component) is "directly coupled to" or "directly connected to" another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that no other component (e.g., a third component) exists between the first component and the other component.

[0028] The expression "configured to" as used herein can be used interchangeably with, for example, "suitable for," "having the capacity to," "designed to," "adapted to," "made to," or "capable of." The term "configured to" does not necessarily mean something is "specifically designed to" in hardware. Instead, in some contexts, the expression "a device configured to" can mean that the device, together with other devices or components, is "capable of."

[0029] For example, the phrase "a processor configured (or set) to perform A, B, and C" may mean a dedicated processor (e.g., an embedded processor) for performing those operations, or a generic-purpose processor (e.g., a CPU or application processor) that can perform those operations by executing one or more software programs stored in a memory device.

[0030] The terms used in this specification are used only to describe specific embodiments and may not be intended to limit the scope of other embodiments. The singular expression may include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, may have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art described in this specification. Terms used in this specification that are defined in general dictionaries may be interpreted as having the same or similar meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this specification. In some cases, even if a term is defined in this specification, it cannot be interpreted to exclude the embodiments of this specification.

[0031] Hereinafter, a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the attached drawings.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram of a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of an information management module illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a search match module illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically illustrating the progress of a purchase information processing module illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating the progress of a corporate value evaluation module illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is a detailed configuration diagram of a purchase request registration module illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0033] First, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an M&A relay server (100), an M&A seller terminal (700), and an M&A buyer terminal (800).

[0034] When each configuration communicates through a network, the network means a connection structure that enables information exchange between each node, such as multiple terminals and servers. Examples of such networks include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), the Internet (WWW), a wired and wireless data communication network, a telephone network, and a wired and wireless television communication network. Examples of wireless data communication networks include, but are not limited to, 3G, 4G, 5G, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), 5GPP (5th Generation Partnership Project), LTE (Long Term Evolution), WIMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access), Wi-Fi, the Internet, LAN (Local Area Network), Wireless LAN (Wireless Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), PAN (Personal Area Network), RF (Radio Frequency), Bluetooth network, NFC (Near-Field Communication) network, satellite broadcasting network, analog broadcasting network, and DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) network.

[0035] In the following, the term "at least one" is defined as a term including both singular and plural, and it will be clear that even if the term "at least one" does not exist, each component can exist in the singular or plural and can mean the singular or plural. In addition, it will be said that whether each component is provided in the singular or plural may vary depending on the embodiment.

[0036] The above M&A seller terminal (700) may be a terminal of a person who wishes to liquidate or sell a company he or she owns using the M&A brokerage platform.

[0037] The above M&A buyer terminal (800) may be a terminal of a person who wishes to purchase an M&A property using an M&A brokerage platform.

[0038] The above M&A relay server (100) may be configured to update whether to continue posting information at regular intervals after the M&A selling party registers M&A information, search and match M&A listing information related to selling and buying, support the writing and submission of a letter of intent to acquire and a confidentiality agreement written by the buying party in connection with the M&A posting for the M&A listing information, calculate a provisional (estimated) selling price of the M&A listing information, and, when information on a company that the M&A buyer wishes to acquire is registered on the terminal of the M&A buyer, provide information on the registration fact to the email registered on the terminal of the M&A buyer.

[0039] More specifically, the M&A relay server (100) includes a platform providing unit (110), a communication unit (120), an information management module (200), a search matching module (300), a purchase information processing module (400), a corporate value evaluation module (500), and a purchase request registration module (600).

[0040] The non-face-to-face M&A brokerage server (100) can be configured as a cloud server of an Internet service provider (IDC) that facilitates uploading and downloading of general information.

[0041] First, the platform provider (110) posts all functions from registration of M&A listing information to search and transaction completion on the website with English-language abbreviations and Korean descriptions, and each module is sequentially developed with expanded functions based on source information (M&A registration information), and includes the overall configuration and process, as well as architecture design technology, leading to the final transaction conclusion (contract signing).

[0042] In addition, the platform providing unit (110) may be configured to provide a non-face-to-face M&A platform that supports visualization of information processed in each module by linking with the information management module (200), search matching module (300), purchase information processing module (400), corporate value evaluation module (500), and purchase desire registration module (600) described below.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 2, the information management module (200) may be configured to inquire of the M&A selling party about whether to continue the announcement based on a predetermined cycle among the M&A listing information input from the M&A selling party terminal, and to continue or withdraw the announcement based on a response.

[0044] More specifically, the information management module (200) includes a storage unit (210), an information bulletin board support unit (220), and an information processing unit (230). The selling information of the selling party is stored in the storage unit (210) and simultaneously posted on the M&A information bulletin board supported by the information bulletin board support unit (220). After registration, the information management module may be configured to request confirmation from the selling information registrant as to whether or not to continue posting information at regular intervals.

[0045] The above information processing unit (230) automatically sends an email to the information registrant asking whether to continue posting M&A sale information at regular intervals (e.g., every 20 days or a month) starting from the registration date. The information registrant selects either "Withdraw" or "Continue" in the email, and the processing is automatically executed on the non-face-to-face M&A platform. If "Withdraw" is selected, the reason for withdrawal is selected and referenced in the operating policy.

[0046] The above sales information, like typical real estate transactions, can be traded through various channels or withdrawn at any time due to a change of heart by either party. However, existing M&A brokerage networks lack any proactive measures to verify the validity of information posted by the selling party, resulting in many instances of false or ineffective registration information.

[0047] Accordingly, the present invention automatically transmits the validity of the registration information by a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system (1) at set intervals based on the M&A information registration date of the information registrant (selling party) through various means (e.g., email, etc.), and can also provide more accurate M&A sale information by confirming continuation through the same means.

[0048] Meanwhile, the information management module (200) can attach a legal power of attorney as a digital document when M&A information is registered by an agent. Since a significant number of domestic M&A transactions are conducted not by the M&A parties themselves but by agents appointed by them, additional procedures may be required to facilitate this process.

[0049] Next, referring to FIG. 3, the search match module (300) may be configured to extract M&A selling companies that match the search keyword entered by the purchasing party on the terminal, and then provide the corporate performance, selling price, company industry, and location of each extracted M&A selling company in ascending or descending order.

[0050] More specifically, the search matching module (300) includes a first filtering unit (310), a second filtering unit (320), a third filtering unit (330), and a fourth filtering unit (340), and lists final information through a four-step process to search for M&A listing information more quickly and accurately.

[0051] For example, the first filtering unit (310) classifies the M&A listing into “all,” “listed companies,” and “unlisted companies” and provides the classified information to the M&A information bulletin board, the second filtering unit (320) classifies the M&A companies according to optional criteria from among examples such as “head office location” and “industry type” and provides the classified information to the M&A information bulletin board, the third filtering unit (330) sequentially arranges the M&A companies on the M&A information bulletin board according to one of the criteria of “highest sales amount”, “highest operating profit”, “lowest sales amount”, and “highest sales amount”, and the fourth filtering unit (340) matches the information of each item initially registered by the seller or buyer, that is, location, industry type, sales amount, operating profit, selling price, etc., with the registered information of the other party at once and provides the matched information to the information bulletin board.

[0052] The filtering process for each of these stages is selectively performed through hierarchical, step-by-step execution buttons, and the M&A information bulletin board is provided so that the results for each stage are displayed sequentially.

[0053] Meanwhile, the search and match module (300) allows potential M&A acquirers to search M&A registration information in multiple stages, view specific information (IM, Information Memorandum) on specific properties, and, depending on the searcher's selection during the search, convert the information into a form allowing them to write a letter of intent for acquisition and a confidentiality agreement, ultimately verifying the acquisition capacity of the final potential acquirer. The latter functionality will be further explained in the acquisition information processing module (400) described below.

[0054] Referring to Figure 4, the purchase information processing module (400) allows the purchasing party to view the M&A sale information list, but this is summary information of the property, and the purchasing party can view more detailed information and express their intention to acquire through the purchase information processing module.

[0055] To explain this in more detail, when the buyer selects a specific item from the above list, more specific information about the property, i.e., IM (information memorandum), is provided.

[0056] The IM (Information Memorandum) presents the target company's investment highlights, general company information, financial information, stock and listing information, and sale terms. However, certain information is anonymous, and key items are presented only in broad terms, preventing any inferences about the company.

[0057] Meanwhile, if the buyer wishes to express his / her intent to acquire while viewing the IM (Information Memorandum), he / she can go directly to the acquisition intent writing screen and enter the acquisition intent information. At this time, a confidentiality agreement for requesting disclosure of information from the target company is also automatically created according to the format set by the platform.

[0058] Here, the request for information disclosure refers to a request for more specific information, such as the real name of the sale target, and the selling party decides whether or not to disclose the information based on the information from the acquiring party.

[0059] The final step in drafting a letter of intent is to verify the buyer's ability to acquire the company. This involves assessing the buyer's financial capabilities or requiring them to upload proof of funds in the form of questions or attachments. Exceptions may be made for listed companies, financially sound companies, etc., allowing for the waiver of the proof of funds requirement.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 5, the corporate value assessment module (500) distinguishes between listed and unlisted companies. For listed companies (510), “recent closing price,” “total number of shares,” “sales share ratio,” “total capital,” and “future cash flow” are input, and for unlisted companies (620), “total number of shares,” “sales share ratio,” “total capital,” “future cash flow,” and “corporate competitiveness index (industry, competitiveness, growth potential, intellectual property)” are input.

[0061] Upon completion of each input, a tentative selling price is presented (530) through the platform algorithm. This includes standard corporate value analysis methods and periodically reflects market selling prices based on each company's circumstances (listed / unlisted, financial and market themes, etc.) (540). This is because corporate value, like stocks and bonds, is affected by various market conditions. The platform periodically examines market trading conditions for listed and unlisted companies, calculates the tentative selling price, and adjusts the weights of the previously input items to present a more accurate selling price.

[0062] In other embodiments, the corporate value assessment module (500) may utilize management rights, market prices, or qualitative valuation methods, either alone or in combination. In the case of management rights, the sale price to be received by the selling party in the event of a sale of the company by the largest shareholder involving a transfer of management rights may be presented. Regarding the market prices, since companies, like stock and apartment prices, are subject to market influences and must be appropriately reflected, a separate mathematical algorithm can be used to adjust the weights of the relevant valuation factors to calculate the market value. Meanwhile, for the qualitative assessment, while the stock price of a listed company reflects future operating value to some extent, for an unlisted company, future cash flow (DCF) is used, which is highly subjective and does not fully capture the characteristics of an unlisted company. Therefore, the corporate value assessment module (500) according to the present invention can be calculated by adding qualitative valuation factors such as industry theme, status, and intellectual property (IP).

[0063] A non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention may include one or two or more of a data room module, an electronic signature module, a data room module, or a personal document box module.

[0064] The above data room module corresponds to a data room. During the M&A process, the selling company must disclose all of its internal details. This may include information that should not be disclosed externally, such as the company's financial information (sensitive information), human resources information, IP (intellectual property) information, and business plans.

[0065] The data room module utilizes a cloud server as a virtual internet space to store this information. Data rooms are equipped with security features such as double encryption and logging management (which records who searches or downloads what, when, and so on) to prevent information leaks and disputes over document authenticity.

[0066] The electronic signature module provides online signing for M&A electronic documents. During the M&A process, both parties sign various documents, such as memorandums of understanding, contracts, and agreements. In conventional M&A processes, these documents were delivered via email or fax, and the signed documents had to be exchanged in person or by mail. With the present invention, one party delivers the document to be signed by both parties via email or mobile phone (text message, KakaoTalk). The other party can also complete their signature online via the same receiving channel and immediately reply. In other words, the exchange of paper documents is unnecessary. Electronic signatures are a digital signature method guaranteed by the Civil Code (no signature required), the Electronic Signature Act, and the Electronic Documents and Electronic Transactions Basic Act. They have the same legal effect as paper documents and offer the advantage of preventing information leakage.

[0067] The Archive module stores the user terms of use for the non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system and various M&A forms used within the platform. More specifically, the user terms of use consist of the "Privacy Policy," "Platform Basic Service Terms," ​​"M&A Sale Terms," ​​"Purchase Terms," ​​and "Consulting Fee Terms." The M&A forms are categorized into the "Consulting Agreement," "Confidentiality Memorandum," and "IM (listed and unlisted distinctions)." The Archive serves as a guide for executing non-face-to-face M&A transactions, providing an easily readable webpage.

[0068] The Personal Documents module is an individual document box that collects platform participants' registration information and M&A counterparty responses. It provides M&A information (sell, buy, and submit letters of intent) registered by the user, as well as information on letters of intent for acquisition and sales proposals received in response to the user's sell posts. Users can edit or withdraw their M&A sell or buy posts at any time. Specifically, users can tag and save companies of interest while searching for M&A properties and submit a letter of intent (including a confidentiality agreement) for those properties.

[0069] Figure 6 is a detailed configuration diagram of the purchase request registration module illustrated in Figure 1.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 6, the purchaser registration module (600) may be configured to automatically transmit the corresponding information to the M&A purchaser when the M&A purchaser accesses the non-face-to-face M&A brokerage server (1) and inputs the M&A company target information (listing status, industry, location, sales volume, profit volume, etc.) determined by the M&A brokerage platform, and the corresponding M&A selling company is registered.

[0071] For example, when an M&A buyer (800) accesses the buyer registration module (600) through the communication unit (120) and registers the buyer information through the input unit (610), the registered information is stored in the storage unit (620), and when M&A sale information within the range set by the M&A buyer is registered on the platform, the registration information is transmitted to the M&A buyer terminal (800) by e-mail or the like through the communication unit (630).

[0072] Meanwhile, the M&A buyer terminal (800) can always view its registration information through the platform storage (630) and can modify or withdraw the relevant information.

[0073] Therefore, by utilizing a non-face-to-face M&A brokerage system according to one embodiment of the present invention, there are advantages in that it can resolve security issues, eliminate information monopolies through decentralization, and enable fair competition and transparent system evaluation of corporate value through the participation of more market participants.

[0074] Additionally, all procedures, from matching parties to closing the deal, are carried out within the platform, simplifying transactions and significantly reducing time and costs.

[0075] The devices described above may be implemented as hardware components, software components, and / or a combination of hardware components and software components. For example, the devices and components described in the embodiments may be implemented using one or more general-purpose computers or special-purpose computers, such as, for example, a processor, a controller, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a digital signal processor, a microcomputer, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic unit (PLU), a microprocessor, or any other device capable of executing instructions and responding to them. The processing device may execute an operating system (OS) and one or more software applications running on the operating system. The processing device may also access, store, manipulate, process, and generate data in response to the execution of the software. For ease of understanding, the processing device is sometimes described as being used alone; however, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the processing device may include multiple processing elements and / or multiple types of processing elements. For example, a processing unit may include multiple processors, or a processor and a controller. Other processing configurations, such as parallel processors, are also possible.

[0076] Software may include a computer program, code, instructions, or a combination of one or more of these, and may configure a processing device to perform a desired operation or, independently or collectively, command the processing device. The software and / or data may be permanently or temporarily embodied in any type of machine, component, physical device, virtual equipment, computer storage medium or device, or transmitted signal wave, for interpretation by the processing device or for providing instructions or data to the processing device. The software may also be distributed over networked computer systems and stored or executed in a distributed manner. The software and data may be stored on one or more computer-readable recording media.

[0077] The method according to the embodiment may be implemented in the form of program commands that can be executed through various computer means and recorded on a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program commands, data files, data structures, etc., alone or in combination. The program commands recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and configured for the embodiment or may be those known and available to those skilled in the art of computer software. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and magnetic tapes, optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, and hardware devices specially configured to store and execute program commands, such as ROMs, RAMs, and flash memories. Examples of the program commands include not only machine language codes generated by a compiler, but also high-level language codes that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter, etc. The hardware devices described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the embodiment, and vice versa.

[0078] Although the embodiments described above have been described by way of limited examples and drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made based on the above description. For example, appropriate results can still be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or components of the described systems, structures, devices, circuits, etc. are combined or combined in a different manner than described, or are replaced or substituted with other components or equivalents.

[0079] Therefore, other implementations, other embodiments, and equivalents to the claims also fall within the scope of the claims set forth below.
