Efficient and time-saving –Merger & acquisition transactions with docurex®

Mergers and acquisitions are part and parcel of the business of strong companies the world over. External M&A service providers, like investment banks, auditors and lawyers, also deal frequently with M&A transactions in their work.

Step by step to a takeover

The typical steps in an M&A transaction

Mergers and acquisitions generally follow these steps subject to a plethora of business management regulations:

1) Selection of and approach to a target company, partially with the assistance of an internal Mergers and Acquisitions department or external M&A expert

2) Signing of the Non-disclosure Agreement (NDA) and letter of intent

3) Due diligence

4) Structuring and M&A transactions based on the results of due diligence

5) Final company valuation and negotiation of the acquisition price

6) Signing of the contract and registration of the acquisition with the responsible competition authority

7) Transfer of ownership after approval from the responsible competition authority and payment of the agreed takeover price

 

The scope and individual steps of M&A transactions are extremely complex and sophisticated. Successful implementation requires M&A expertise and M&A software capable of recording, reproducing and processing the complexity of mergers and acquisitions in a way that is appropriate and clear. The innovative and safe docurex® Data Room does just this in a straightforward and comprehensive manner.
