M & A Deal Flow in the Post-Recessionary Period

©May 2010, 18 pages

As a follow-up to last year’s M & A Plans and Other Strategic Growth Initiatives report, Financial Executives Research Foundation (FERF) again collaborated with Merrill DataSiteTM to determine how M & A deal flow is recovering in the post recession period. During an April 1, 2010 roundtable teleconference, participants discussed the demand for investment banking services, particularly as it relates to M & A, the motivations of current buyers and sellers, trends in deal structure, such as pricing and financing, and deal characteristics, such as the nature of due diligence. The roundtable concluded with a discussion of the outlook for the M & A market.
