Since the financial collapse of 2008, many have speculated that the transaction market would come back to life as soon as the economy showed signs of strengthening. Almost four years later, against a stronger but less than ideal economic backdrop, we have witnessed an uptick in private equity driven M&A and IPO activity, but certainly not at the pace one might have expected—or hoped for. Increasingly, we’re seeing private equity firms hold onto their portfolio companies longer, often infusing additional capital and extending the terms of their funds. At the same time, prospective strategic and financial buyers are sitting on the sidelines with a lot of dry powder. Given this environment, how have private equity experts adapted their process, and how might their insights apply to your transactions in the coming year?

What will be discussed:
•   Whether there is a disconnect between buyers and sellers in terms of valuation
•   How to successfully pursue a dual track to maximize valuation and bring deals to completion
•   What economic factors are at play and how they impact exit strategies
•   Which industries and regions present the best opportunities
Our panel of international business experts will provide insights, ideas and resources to help you navigate world markets. The panel will include: Richard Kradjel, Head of Equity Private Placements, SG Americas Securities and Daniel Latham, Partner, White & Case.
All registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Merrill DataSite's white paper Riding Out the Storm: How Private Equity Firms Survive and Thrive During Tough Economic Times.
