As consumers increasingly watch TV by live-streaming through their mobile devices, these companies have to constantly innovate, ramp up their distribution networks and offer increased connectivity between devices. The five Life Sciences and Healthcare deals, which include Medtronic’s almost US$46bn acquisition of Covidien, have all been driven by one common trend — companies wanting to lessen their tax burdens through corporate tax inversion. US firms, with biotech and pharmaceutical companies leading the way, are purchasing companies overseas to change their domiciles to countries like the UK and Ireland where tax-related expenses and rules are much less onerous than those in the US. What makes these companies particularly inclined toward doing tax inversion deals is the global nature of the industry that makes it easier to find attractive DEAL DRIVERS – AMERICAS 05 AMERICAS HEAT CHART The Heat Chart represents ‘companies for sale’ stories written Latin American activity is projected to develop particularly in the in H1 2014, based on Mergermarket proprietary intelligence.

    Daseke, Inc. and Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. II Announce Closing of Merger Transaction Daseke, Inc. Becomes a Public Company, Trading on Nasdaq Under Ticker “DSKE” to Commence on February 28, 2017 ADDISON AND HOUSTON, TEXAS – Feb. 27, 2017 – Daseke, Inc. (“Daseke”) and Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ: HCAC, HCACU, HCACW) (“HCAC” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of their previously announced business combination. The merger was approved at HCAC’s special meeting of stockholders held earlier today. As part of the transaction, HCAC changed its name to Daseke, Inc. As a result, the Company expects that, effective Feb. 28, 2017, the Company’s common stock and warrants will begin trading under the ticker symbols “DSKE” and “DSKEW,” respectively, on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Daseke is a leading consolidator of the highly fragmented $133 billion open deck freight market in North America. Since its first year of operations in 2009, Daseke has grown revenue both organically and through acquisitions from $30 million to more than $650 million estimated in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 55 percent. Daseke believes it is the largest owner of open deck equipment and the second largest provider of open deck transportation and logistics solutions by revenue in North America. Don Daseke, Chairman and CEO of Daseke, Inc., stated, “Our vision from the start was to become a public company so we could have access to the capital markets in order to continue our focused consolidation strategy. We believe we have an acquisition pipeline that could enable us to double Daseke’s adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization over the next three years, and we believe this business combination positions us to meet our 2017 consolidation objectives.

  • Investment Banks Or Boutiques: Why Are They Chosen and What Firm Type Makes the Better M&A Deals?
    Investment banks or boutiques: Why are they chosen and what firm type makes the better M&A deals? An empirical investigation regarding domestic M&A deals in the USA Master Thesis Author: S.R. Faber ANR (SNR): 215677 (1275258) Program: Master of Finance Supervisor: dr. C.A.R. Schneider University: University of Tilburg, Netherlands Abstract Between 2000 and 2015 there has been an increase in the M&A advisory business for boutiques advisors. The main difference between boutique advisors and full-service investment banks is that boutique advisors generally have knowledge in a specific sector or have a specialization on M&A, whereas full-service investment banks often cover a wide variety of services. This thesis investigates whether the findings found by Song et al. (2013) are still valid using another dataset. Song et al. (2013) investigated the firms’ choice for a boutique- or full-service advisor and what consequences it has for the deal outcome. It was found that boutique advisors (mixed advisory teams) have a higher probability of getting hired, when the deal size is small (high). In addition to this, boutique advisors generate higher deal premiums on both the target and acquirer side of the deal. No statistical evidence is found to draw conclusions regarding the influence of advisors on deal duration and deal completion. Overall, no significant statement can be made regarding the performance of boutique advisors when they are compared to full-service advisors. Master Thesis – B a s F a b e r – MSc. Finance (2016 - 2017) | 2 1. Introduction Over the last years there has been an increase in mergers and acquisitions (hereafter: M&A) deals, both domestic and international.
