M&A Monitor produces a database which analyses selected corporate mergers and acquisitions on a Europe-wide basis. The M&A Monitor database was launched as a web-based product in the second half of 1997, since which time it has established itself as the most reliable source commercially available for analytically rigorous M&A data. The primary purpose of the database is to generate reliable "Price" and "Enterprise Value" transaction multiples and bid premia. Our clients include anyone who needs to have Investment Banking standard analysis of historic transactions in order to help value a current transaction. M&A Monitor has also recently launched its 8.3 Tracker, a unique system which takes the hassle out of collecting and collating Rule 8.3 notices, which are issued when investors trade in UK public companies that are in an offer period. The 8.3 Tracker automatically and instantaneously reads all 8.3 notices submitted through RNS and the other aggregated news providers. It then databases the notices giving each data point a unique field. M&A Monitors ARB-Insight product has at its core information from our own M&A Database, the most in-depth M&A analysis tool available. By pre-programming certain "rooms" which are common deal types we eliminate the need for clients to perform complex searches in order to arrive at historical outcomes for similar deals to recently announced transactions.
