Industry: Healthcare / Providers
Transaction: Sale to Financial Buyer


ClearVision Laser Centers, Inc. ("ClearVision") was the nation's largest private provider of corrective eye laser surgery. The privately owned and operated company was seeking capital to provide its shareholders with liquidity and to improve its working capital base. The company had received several indications of interest at the time it retained GMB as its exclusive financial advisor.

GMB expanded the search for an appropriate financial partner and successfully negotiated the placement of equity with Moore Capital Management, LLC, a private capital management firm with offices in New York, London and Washington, D.C.

Subsequently, when Moore Capital decided to exit its investment in ClearVision, GMB was retained to sell the company. GMB successfully sold ClearVision to Laser Vision Centers, which later merged with TLC Laser Eye Centers, Inc. which became TLC Vision Corp. (NASDAZ: TLCV), one of the world's largest corrective eye laser surgery companies.
