In the current economic environment, many small and midsize private and public companies are actively exploring the business development opportunities associated with being acquired by, or merging with, a publicly traded strategic partner.
Besides developing an immediate exit strategy for the existing shareholders, the vertical integration of complimentary businesses can create attractive operating efficiencies, reduce overall operating costs and provide the combined entities with greater access to inexpensive equity and debt capital.
A majority of the peer-to-peer mergers and acquisition transactions occurring in the public markets today are being driven by investors demanding that the public companies they invest in pursue substantial reductions in operating costs, produce immediate net earnings, show a real growth in gross revenues and enhance shareholder value.
With this business trend firmly entrenched in the market place, and public company valuations at historically low levels, we expect to see many more companies in a variety of industries actively pursue mergers and acquisition opportunities with either competitors or strategic partners as a primary way of:
Enhancing shareholder value
Creating a viable exit strategy for existing shareholders
Gaining greater access to inexpensive debt and equity operating capital
