This prestigious annual M&A conference assembles corporate development leaders, in-house M&A counsel, and private equity investors to discuss current challenges impacting complex transactions and learn about innovative methods to improve deal performance. The cross-disciplinary agenda is unpacked by a diverse speaking faculty from various industries and regions who share first-hand experiences, best practices, and guidance from their vast M&A experience.
Paul Humphreys’ panel “Slowly Closing” will cover:
- For long-close deal cycles, what terms should be structured to adjust?
- How can outside dates, ticking fees, efforts, reverse break fees, equity grants, and other deal points be designed to work in concert?
- Are new walk rights and interim covenants emerging?
- How do you make sure one party does not control a closing condition?
- What shift in long-close deals?
- What is being negotiated (and actually being paid) when deals don't close?
Jenn Mellott’s panel “Formulating a Regulatory Approach” will cover:
- What are the key considerations and factors in formulating a strong antitrust strategy?
- How are parallel reviews affecting deals?
- Are there ways to effectively handle divergence -- or collaboration -- between jurisdictions?
- What key elements of the agency's substantive assessments have shifted?
- Given the agencies' skepticism of behavioral remedies and intense scrutiny of structural remedies, can / should deal makers negotiate adaptations to fix it first?
