Gibbons P.C.’s Post

In many takeovers, it is understood far too late that one is now an employee of the new company and that many things fundamentally change. With more than 150 German companies being taken over by american firms annually, this book by Judith Geiss fills a previously painful gap. The American would say: 'It’s overdue.“ But based on my own experience, I strongly recommend this book not just for Germans who are acquired, but even more for Americans who acquire. A big gap of cultural and global understanding is waiting to be filled. And vice versa, for Germans who acquire and integrate US companies, it also delivers a lot of food for thoughts. #blueprintofatakeover #thebridge #acquisition #judithgeiß

→ Take-Private Deal Volume Surges in 2024 ← The landscape of public companies is evolving rapidly, with take-private deal volume nearly surpassing the 2023 total this year. In a recent interview, Melissa Sawyer, global head of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP’s mergers and acquisitions group, highlights the mounting pressures faced by public companies, leading many to reconsider their status. "Companies that are already public are feeling like living up to the requirements of being a public company—the costs associated with that, the quarterly reporting, the pressure from shareholder activists—is all becoming too much," said Sawyer. → Global Take-Private Deals Hit $127 Billion According to Bloomberg, take-private deals have reached an astounding $127 billion through July, just shy of last year's total. Major deals this year include: - Novo Holdings' $16.2 billion acquisition of Catalent Inc. - Silver Lake Management's $10 billion deal to take Endeavor Group Holdings private. With private equity dry powder at a record $2.59 trillion, companies are increasingly turning to private equity shops. This trend is driven by the high cost of public capital and declining #IPOs, which hit a decade low of $91.7 billion last year. → Sullivan & Cromwell Leading the Charge Under Sawyer’s leadership, Sullivan & Cromwell has advised on $79.5 billion worth of M&A #transactions in the first half of this year. Sawyer herself is guiding significant deals such as #Boeing’s $8.3 billion pending acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems and Seagen’s $43 billion acquisition by #Pfizer. "Regulatory pressure, especially from the FTC, is continuing to chill transaction activity across sectors," said Sawyer. Despite this, health care remains a bright spot, with companies focusing on transformational deals. → Looking Ahead The November #election could influence the deals landscape, potentially affecting litigation brought by regulatory bodies. Additionally, the rise of #AI in dealmaking could revolutionize the industry by improving efficiency and challenging the billable hour standard. “The tools available are not that reliable yet, but as they improve, they could disrupt how Big Law firms bill their clients,” Sawyer noted.
