Rutan & Tucker LLP advised RCP Advisors, a private equity investment management firm focused on North American lower middle market buyouts, in a merger with P10 Industries, Inc. Rutan & Tucker released details on its role in the deal Oct. 11.
RCP Advisors has received 44,171,233 newly issued P10 Industries shares, representing about 49 percent of P10’s outstanding shares, along with cash and seller notes.
P10 Industries closed its acquisition of RCP Advisors 2 LLC and entered into a deal to buy RCP Advisors 3 LLC in January 2018, according to a news release.

P10 Industries Inc., a Dallas-based public company, said it aims to buy valuable intellectual property assets and profitable businesses in the commercial and industrial markets. The company was founded late last year after Piller Power Systems Inc. finalized an asset acquisition of Active Power Inc. Active Power rebranded and changed its name to P10 Industries in accordance with terms of that acquisition agreement.
