This source material from Financial Edge presents a comprehensive, nine-phase ultimate guide to the Investment Banking Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) process, created by Financial Edge. The initial phases focus on the company board establishing a long-term M&A strategy and collaborating with investment banks to execute a search for appropriate targets or buyers. A crucial intermediate step is the detailed business valuation, where methods like discounted cash flow and comparables are utilized to calculate the share price range, often summarized using a "football field chart."
Following valuation, the process mandates signing confidentiality agreements and conducting thorough due diligence before engaging in complex deal negotiations concerning pricing and structure. The document concludes by detailing the necessary steps for public disclosure, including SEC filings for deal announcements, followed by regulatory clearance, final closing, and post-merger integration.
