Regare Corporation

Regare Corporation is a telecommunications company offering a comprehensive array of telecom products including local access, long distance, calling card and toll free services, internet access, and paging to residential and small- to medium-sized corporate customers. A core strength of the company was its advanced convergent billing system, that enabled Regare to provide a customized bundle of services on a single customer bill. The company has been in business for less than two years and is on an aggressive growth track via organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Currently, Regare is in negotiations to effect a reverse takeover of a publicly traded company on the Vancouver Stock Exchange as well as the acquisition of a large private long distance reseller. The CEO must decide on what terms the deals will be made as well as how to finance the acquisitions. Students will learn how to value both a private and public company, the nature and structure of a reverse takeover and, about consolidation as a growth strategy.
