Description

This Mergers & Acquisitions course is designed to provide you with a practical guide to understanding, structuring and executing real-world M&A transactions.


This course is inspired by my personal experience and pains of trying to find a practical and real word guide to M&A when I was interviewing for my investment banking role as well as starting my role as an I-banker advising companies on billion-dollar transactions.


Even when I landed my role as an Investment Banker, I quickly realized that actual client-specific circumstances and transaction complexities, combined with ever-changing market conditions often require me to either learn from mistakes or consult with senior directors for guidance. All these inspired me to come up with a course based on “best practices”, learnings and actual transaction experience to help others joining this field.


This course cover:

· Different types of M&A transactions (i.e Leverage Buyouts, Spin offs, Divestitures, etc)

· Strategies and methods of acquisitions (i.e Asset acquisition, Stock acquisition, 338(h)(10) election)

· Sale strategies (broad & targeted auctions, and bilateral negotiation)

· End to end M&A transaction process

· Valuation analysis (Comps, PT, DCF)

· Merger Accretion and Dilution analysis

· Synergies (phasing)

· Completion mechanisms


Whether you're brand new to the M&A world or are wanting to just learn more, this is the course for you!

Who this course is for:

  • Students trying to break into the investment banking field
  • Incoming investment bankers who are starting your role as a banker
  • Management and founders of companies looking at acquiring or selling your business or assets
  • M&A advisors such as lawyers, consultants, and accountants
  • Anyone who wants to learn and gain insights on real world end-to-end M&A transaction execution
