    MARKET MONITOR M&A and financing update 1st Quarter 2020 “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen” said Vladimir Lenin Indeed for many of us, the last few weeks of “interesting times” seemed undoubtedly like decades. We are hearing “unprecedented” as often as “coronavirus”. An increasingly common sentiment is that “this time is different.” Lately, the comparisons to past events such as the Great Recession, September 11th, and Black Monday have been questioned. But, relatively little attention has been given to the oil price shock that may have more significant long-term economic implications than COVID-19. The lack of precedent, or our ability to recognize precedent where it’s relevant, will test leadership at all levels of the U.S. economy as monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policy levers are being pulled to create a baseline and a path forward. From February 11th to March 12th, the Dow Industrial average dropped 28%, sending the U.S. into a bear market. On March 9th the stock market experienced its first trading halt when the S&P 500 declined 7%. The capital markets took notice and continued forward. On March 12th when the second trading halt occurred the gravity of the situation intensified and the capital markets began to pause. By noon, almost every M&A sale process was stopped due to the very real threat of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy as the hospitality industry closed its doors, social gathering was restricted by local governments, and employers quickly shifted to work from home models.
