Seale & Associates was engaged by the shareholders of Grupo Tampico to analyze strategic alternatives for their Coca-Cola bottling business, taking into account the recent merger of Arca with Grupo Continental, which triggered an acquisition race between Coca-Cola FEMSA and Arca Continental.
Seale & Associates conducted a disciplined process that resulted in a consensus among Grupo Tampico's shareholders, who chose Coca-Cola FEMSA as the preferred alternative.
As a result, Grupo Tampico's beverage division merged with Coca-Cola FEMSA, and the shareholders of Grupo Tampico received shares of Coca-Cola FEMSA.
