Global economy falters, but deals are getting done

Robust levels of M&A activity in developed economies in Europe and North America remained elusive in the third quarter as the eurozone and US budget crises continue to play out. Despite the uncertainty, transactions are still getting done in the plastics and packaging industry.

Market shakeups and company breakups

Market fluctuations in the North American food and beverage industry caused dealmakers and buyers and sellers alike to incorporate uncommon forms of transaction risk hedging during the third quarter, such as reverse breakup fees and increased attention to the quality of financing paper.

Mining and metals industry records 67% uptick in deal value in 2011

M&A activity softens and valuations fall in Q2/Q3

M&A activity in the North American home and building products sector slowed in the second quarter.
