Preferred Unlimited, Inc.

Preferreed Unlimited, Inc. is a private, diversified investment company that currently manages a portfolio of more than $1.5 billion in assets. Preferred invests its own capital with no outside investors, and structures transactions to meet the unique financial objectives of each seller. As a buyer, we offer three distinct advantages: • We are not a competitor: we are an equity investor offering to marry entrepreneurial capital with your operating expertise and market knowledge. • We are not an operator: we want to allow your operation to do what it does best with no interference, offering the opportunity to grow and expand your business. • We invest in value: Our investment model allows us to value your assets from a stronger perspective than active or competitive buyers. Preferred seeks to acquire active, permitted quarry / mining operations and their respective holdings in their entirety. As an equity investor we partner with professional management teams, ideally in-place, to ensure continuity while providing capital for growth and expansion. Preferred then seeks to sell their raw and processed materials to the open markets. Preferred has a long track record of working with sellers in strategic divestitures. We have successfully acquired assets from many major companies, including IBM, Texas Instruments, Lucent Technologies, Ingersoll Rand, and the Ford Motor Company to name but a few.
