May 26: Mergers
& Acquisitions
It is virtually every entrepreneur’s dream to build a business that
eventually provides a significant monetary return to the company’s shareholders through a liquidity
event. The two primary ways for a company to enact a liquidity event are through an IPO or through a
partial or complete sale of the business. In 2001 and the first half of 2002, there were
approximately 140 IPOs versus approximately 15,000 M&A transactions. This session will provide
an opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn about the “path to liquidity”. The course will discuss
what makes a successful acquisition candidate and what a business can do to maximize value before
the sale process and how the M&A process works and how to maximize value during the sale
process.
