Dec. 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Another free-to-view webcast from IFR, in association with Merrill DataSite.

Thursday, 31st January, 2013 | 09:00-11:00 GMT


IFR, in association with Merrill DataSite, will be hosting a new M&A webcast on Thursday, 31st January, 2013. M&A Financing Trends 2013 (http://www.datasite.com/m-and-a-deals.htm) will bring together a leading panel of senior M&A professionals to analyse the outlook for accessing takeover financing in the coming year.

Fully interactive, the webcast will allow participants to submit questions, comments and feedback online – enabling you to help shape the discussions and extract maximum benefit from the event.

PANELLISTS

The webcast will be chaired by Keith Mullin – Editor-at-Large, IFR – and we’re lining-up some of the industry’s leading lights to sit on the panel. Look out for announcements soon...

TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED

Panellists will discuss a range of topics, including:

·         Evaluating the outlook for M&A in 2013 and the availability of finance to fund it

·         Will banks step up to the plate in an era of deleveraging?

·         Optimising the funding mix. Is bridge-to-bond the only way to go?

·         Corporate bond investors proved they were willing to provide financing in huge size in 2012. Will they support mega-capital raisings in M&A situations?

·         Surveying private equity activity (http://www.datasite.com/best-solution-for-global-pedd.htm) and the availability of leverage to finance LBOs

·         What is the outlook for high-yield bond markets and leveraged lending?

·         Will CLOs and hedge funds emerge as a viable source of takeover financing?

·         Financing distressed asset sales in the eurozone

·         Identifying global sectors and geographies for M&A activity (http://www.datasite.com/solutions.htm)
