COURSE BACKGROUND
Merger and acquisition activity in Europe and the rest of the world is booming with scores of mega-deals dominating the business headlines. In Europe alone, deals worth around $400 billion were announced in the first quarter of 2006. Encouragingly, M&A activity is coming from an array of sectors, from both trade and financial buyers and from a wide range of countries.
Euromoney Training's unique training course on Mergers & Acquisitions hosted by former UBS and HSBC-expert Paul Richard's will give you the knowledge you need to take advantage of the current wave of M&A activity. Delegates will learn about structuring and financing transactions ? including the latest innovative financing techniques ? and about sound company valuation techniques, which form the basis of all successful deals. The course will also bring an understanding of buyers and sellers' motivations, the problems encountered when advising clients and how to overcome them through negotiation.
In these corporate governance focused-times, the course will pay special attention to the role of due diligence and its impact on value. Furthermore, it will focus on new areas of activity such as arbitrage strategies in M&A situations.
Most importantly, Euromoney Training's Mergers & Acquisitions course will be uncompromisingly practical, using real life case studies and computer simulations to provide a true awareness of what makes M&A work. Delegates will dig down into deals to find out how they were structured, financed, managed and they will be rewarded with exceptional awareness of how to succeed in M&A.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The aim of this course is to provide participants who already have some transaction experience with further exposure to M&A, company valuation and deal structuring and financing.
