TA Associates - MetroPCS (A)
Abstract
Hythem El-Nazer, a young investment professional at TA Associates, believes he has found an attractive investment opportunity for the firm, MetroPCS, a wireless telecomm service provider. However, two months earlier, TA had invested considerable resources on this company, before the company decided it could not raise equity capital, due, in part, to some accounting problems. Should El-Nazer bring this deal opportunity to the attention of TA's CEO, or should he do precisely what the CEO had told him two months earlier, "stop wasting his time on this company"?
