In support of future growth, Chartwell raised a senior credit facility provided by CIT, a division of First Citizens Bank, and a mezzanine credit facility provided by Cyprium Partners. The CIT and Cyprium Partners credit facilities offer D.P.

Chartwell acted as the exclusive financial advisor to D.P. Nicoli throughout the transaction and the associated capital raises.

“At some point in an entrepreneur’s life, succession planning must take center stage. My number one goal was to preserve the Company’s best assets, its employees and corporate culture,” said Dave Nicoli, Founder and CEO of D.P. Nicoli. “By transitioning ownership of the Company to our employees, not only have I met that goal, but I have created the opportunity for a life changing event for the very people who have worked so hard to make this Company what it is today.”

Following a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives led by Chartwell, including the solicitation of indications of interest from potential acquirers, the Company elected to proceed with the Transaction and 100% ESOP ownership to foster continued employee engagement, bolster employee retention and recruitment efforts, provide increased retirement benefits, proliferate the safety and employee-first culture and legacy created by Dave Nicoli, and embark on a strategic ownership transition.


“I couldn’t be happier with the outstanding outcome realized for our employees and shareholders, which was only possible with the dedicated expertise and guidance Chartwell provided. Chartwell kept the vision and mission of D.P. Nicoli at the forefront in each step of the process, ensuring D.P. Nicoli and its employees were set up for success and continued growth. We can’t thank Chartwell enough for its role in achieving a life changing outcome for all of D.P. Nicoli and ensuring that the culture and legacy of the Company perseveres for generations.

Dave Nicoli, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, D.P. Nicoli

“We were continuously impressed by Chartwell’s ESOP and capital markets expertise and support for the management team in all facets of this process. This Transaction transformed not only our ownership structure but also provided us with the capital necessary to execute on our growth plans. Chartwell provided us with expert guidance across a wide range of topics including succession planning, ESOP design, capital structure, soliciting M&A offers, and tax considerations. We are extremely excited about our future as an employee-owned company, our partnership with CIT and Cyprium Partners, and the long-term growth and success to come for D.P. Nicoli.

We are extremely pleased with the outcome realized by Chartwell for the benefit of our employees through the ESOP. While we considered many firms to advise us in this process, Chartwell’s unique positioning of PenLink, unrivaled M&A and ESOP experience, and guidance through a comprehensive marketing process resulted in the best possible outcome, and Chartwell more than delivered on every commitment they made to us. Chartwell’s team is personally invested in our success and fought for us at every step – no way we could have achieved this tremendous result without them.”

Kevin Pope, Chief Executive Officer, PenLink

We have been continually impressed by Chartwell’s M&A expertise, ability to navigate around the complexities of an ESOP in a broad marketing process, and support for the management team in all facets of this process. As the most experienced advisors to ESOP-owned companies exploring a sale, Chartwell provided valuable insights that resulted in a superior outcome to that which would likely have been attained by other advisors.  In doing so, Chartwell navigated a number of complex financial issues while also creating in-depth analyses to help management portray their vision of the Company and its future, which culminated in a premium result for our employees.”
