Dow Jones Description

Cracken, Harkey & Co., L.L.C. is a private equity firm. We invest in and acquire public small-cap companies that present a compelling and sustainable competitive advantage, a growing market opportunity and talented and committed senior management with whom we can work strategically to achieve a company's full potential. The companies we select often present with little or no momentum in the public markets or research coverage. Further, they often hold shareholders captive in their investment by a flagging share price or an illiquid market for their shares. They enjoy few of the benefits of operating as a public company while enduring all of the additional costs, expenses and disruption from such operations. We seek to invest in, acquire and then reinvigorate these companies to both achieve their full potential and to reward their senior management for doing so. Further, we offer their shareholders a material premium to market for their shares and an opportunity to finally and reasonably exit their investment. We strive to structure win-win transactions for a company's shareholders, senior management and our partners.
