While billion dollar “mega market” private equity deals have dropped off as a result of the credit market turmoil and tightening lending practices, the environment for middle market M&A deals continues to be strong. Separating facts from speculation, the panelists will draw from their own deal experiences to demonstrate how to navigate today’s financial climate and successfully close deals in spite of the market’s turbulence.
Topics of discussion will include:
- The effect of current economic and financial market conditions on valuations for middle market M&A transactions
- Current trends for debt financing of middle market M&A transactions
- The varied consequences of today’s market conditions for strategic buyers versus financial buyers
- Capital gains implications of the upcoming election and their effects on the M&A process
