M&A Buyers: A Basic Script for Initial Calls to Prospective Targets. The following is a basic script that works well in making M&A acquisition search calls. As with the script for selling a business, you should not read this text verbatim. Instead, it sets up the flow of the basic information you want to convey during the initial call. Use this as a model for creating your own script. [Owner’s name], my name is [your name]. I’m with a business advisory and investment banking firm. One of my clients has asked me to help them grow their business. I know you probably get calls like this all time, but I was hoping to talk with you for a minute, explain their vision and plan, where they want to go, opportunities that we see to create a lot of value, and see if anything holds water for you.
My client is a profitable, midmarket telecommunications company. Don’t worry about your script being grammatically perfect. Not every call results in a great conversation; that’s why your target list needs to be large enough. PLC - Transactions and practices: EU Joint ventures.

Joint ventures encompass a broad range of commercial operations, ranging from fully-fledged merger-like operations to co-operation limited to particular functions such as production, distribution or research and development. Terminology Full-function joint venture without a co-operative element. Which regime? Joint control Veto rights. Joint ventures / Specific conditions concerning the parties / Legal structure of M&A transactions / Practical M&A Guide / Transactions Portal, Wardynski & Partners. Definition The term “joint venture” covers a broad range of different forms of cooperation between individuals or other entities, aimed at achieving the purposes defined by the participants—typically profit-making or organisational. All the participants in a joint venture project need not have the same purposes in mind. A joint venture may be in the nature of a process for achieving an end result, or a process of continuing cooperation without identifying an end result.
In the first variant, the joint venture typically has a fixed end date, after which the parties will end their cooperation or change it into a different form of cooperation. In the second variant, the joint venture project may have no fixed term, but may be terminated by either of the parties under certain agreed conditions. Polish law does not contain specific regulations governing joint ventures as such. Characteristics of the transaction Assets transferred by the parties to a joint venture to carry out the project.
Positioning for Growth: Carve-Outs & Spin-Offs by Justin Pettit. With equity markets and M&A volume trending up, we expect a dramatic rebound in public divestitures; preliminary signs are already positive: - Strategic review and economic profitability analysis frequently identify divestiture candidates within multi-line businesses; however, divestitures are often delayed due to common misconceptions. - Restructuring creates value through improved market transparency, resource allocation, incentives and accountability. - Value creation studies of parents' short-term cumulative abnormal returns average 2-4%, but range widely from -30% to 35%: - Winner parents show a higher prevalence of companies in industrial sectors, "mature" businesses, and more business lines.
Their subsidiary businesses exhibited lower levels of debt and dividends, and brighter future prospects. - Takeover premiums account for a portion, but are not sufficient to explain all, of the value created; operating improvements have also been shown.
