Mario Sicilia and Jose Antonia Fernandez are partners at Vestige Capital LLC (Vestige). During their time in Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), the pair established a search fund before graduation in June 2009. Mario Sicilia and Jose Antonio Fernandez are now tasked with the responsibility of evaluating the viability of re-bidding on a company that they been previously considered acquiring. A typical U.S. search fund ranged between $20,000 and $35,000 (Emerson 4). Due to the complicated nature of the undertaking, Sicilia and Fernandez had to make difficult choices that would have far-reaching ramifications in respect to their professional reputation and the economic interests.
The decision to acquire the company will have to be elaborately addressed to protect the interests of the two partners. Fundamentally, the threats that are likely to affect the performance of the business will have to be carefully tackled to ensure the success of the acquisition. It is instructive that the war against drugs in Mexico had a significant impact on businesses. It is notable that the partners had committed to increasing the size of each investment unit from $35,000 to $50,000 to cater for broken deals (Emerson 7). Also, Sicilia will be required to renegotiate their partnership agreement with Fernandez since he was no longer an operating partner. The implantation of a robust strategy will help to ensure that the acquisition of the company is successful.

In conclusion, Mario and Jose will be required to determine the feasibility of undertaking the acquisition of the company. In addition, the two partners will have to evaluate how best to proceed on the issue. However, there are a number of factors that are likely to hamper the deal. For instance, the fight against drugs in Mexico had substantially affected the performance of businesses due to poor economic prospects. Consequently, it will be imperative to ensure that appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard their interests.
