THE TRUSTEE ROLE

Company background

Professional Fiduciary Services group individuals act as Trustee for ESOP transactions and are often retained to provide ongoing Trustee services. John Michael Maier JD is the President and owner of PFS, and has been advising and acting as a fiduciary since 1984.

 

Maier did his first leveraged ESOP transaction in 1985 and served as Trustee for that client until the ESOP company issued publicly held stock as part of its growth strategy. Maier and PFS have completed over 100 ESOP and fiduciary assignments since PFS was formed in 2007. Maier also serves on the board of directors of two ESOP companies. The value of the employer stock assets involved in these transactions ranged from under $1,000,000 to over $250,000,000. Complexity ranges from straightforward non-leveraged minority purchases or sales to complex multi-stage leveraged corporate transactions, recapitalizations and releveraging.
