Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of M&A offers a comprehensive approach for all the players in the merger and acquisition process including bankers, corporate executives, investment professionals, lawyers, regulators, and more.

Hooke also offers insights for closing the deal. Filled with new examples and anecdotes drawn from current events, the book explores recent trends and changes in the mergers and acquisitions market.

Since the first edition of M&A was published, merger and acquisition activity has increased fourfold. To address the changes, the second edition contains a wealth of new information on such topics as private equity funds and international transactions. The new edition also includes a review of important changes such as the trend of smaller firms entering the game, emerging markets, natural resource valuation, hostile takeovers, expansion of the Internet, and the rise of activist investors.

M&A outlines the methodical search process of successful acquirers and details the key attributes of "good" versus "bad" deals. Hooke provides a synopsis of corporate valuation techniques and covers special challenges such as hi-tech companies, money-losing enterprises, cyclical businesses, and global firms. When a deal is close, the buyer has to gauge the impact of the prospective transaction on its balance sheet, income statement, and future equity price. To aid in this process, the text contains the basics of M&A financial accounting for the combined firms. In addition, Hooke reviews the key legal documents encompassed in the sale process, as well as the common legal structures. A proper legal structure can save buyer or seller significant monies, and it can offer either party substantial protection from unforeseen problems.
