Case Study: Sporting Index achieves faster, more secure buyout due diligence with IntraLinks Virtual Data Rooms

Sporting Index - Customer Case Study

Sporting Index, a company that had built its own market, faced a challenging secondary buyout after earlier using a paper-based dataroom. With multiple buyer groups involved, managing sequential due diligence visits created a potential administrative headache and risked signaling delays, so the company looked to IntraLinks for a more secure and efficient process.

IntraLinks provided Virtual Data Rooms, giving Sporting Index a reliable way to protect sensitive information, organize documents, and manage access for different parties. The buyout was completed in five months, and Sporting Index was acquired by Hg Capital for £75.8 million in November 2005. IntraLinks helped streamline the transaction, letting the new owners find documents easily and improving the overall deal timeline.
