The process

From client allocation to deal negotiation, participants’ experience the M&A process first-hand…

You work within a given time frame and are allocated a number of clients from different sectors such as pharmaceuticals, real estate, energy, consumer, technology…

 

You receive information about several potential target companies or acquirers including company background, financial performance, market data (share price history, P/E ratio, market capitalisation), and a valuation based on forecasted financial numbers.

You then value their target companies using a financial modelling tool assess the potential risks and opportunities associated with each of the companies under assessment.

 

Based on the assessment, the M&A Advisor decides on a potential deal value. You then engage in simulated negotiations, representing their assigned clients (buyer or seller). The goal is to reach a mutually agreeable deal value that considers both companies current market capitalisation alongside other key financial metrics, and potential synergies created by the merger or acquisition.

You present the negotiation strategy and rationale behind your decisions.
