The M&A Deskbook

From the best-selling author in the M&A field comes this comprehensive sourcebook for the M&A professional. In the past year, U.S. companies closed nearly 8,000 deals worth almost 800 billion - including the biggest deal of all time: the merger of Travelers and Citibank to form CitiGroup, a 70-billion-plus deal that created a financial giant. Worldwide mergers and acquisitions were double that amount in the number of deals and dollars. Experts predict even more mega-mergers in the years to come. The need for accurate information to make these deals go smoothly has never been more paramount. Readers will find literally thousands of essential terms, phrases, resources, and other invaluable material in this indispensable guidebook by the author of the classic The Art of M&A. In the M&A Deskbook and Dictionary, Stanley Foster Reed brings together under one roof key words and phrases specific to merger/acquisition and related activities. More than just a basic dictionary, Reed adds supporting etymology, encyclopedic entries, and expanded legal citations. This unique sourcebook will include statutory law and regulations, bibliographical data, and other resource material to help M&A deal makers find and understand the information they need to know.
