IMAP closed 117 M&A deals worth over $4.5 billion during Q1-Q3 2020, 31% of which were cross-border. Deals were closed across 15 different sectors, with Technology and Industrials being the most active.
Jurgis V. Oniunas, IMAP Chairman, commented:
"Following the steep drop-off in global M&A activity in Q2, there were signs of renewed transaction activity in Q3 as previously paused deals were reactivated and wellpositioned buyers ventured back to the market. In Q3, IMAP partners around the world closed 43 transactions, marking a 78% rebound from Q2. Moreover, opportunities and mandates continued to surface throughout Q3, which suggests further improvements may be in store for the final quarter of the year.”
IMAP closed 193 M&A transactions valued at over $7.0 billion in 2020, down from the 7 year high of 235 deals closed in 2019.
IMAP is pleased to announce the appointment of 3 new members to the IMAP Board: François Wohrer from IMAP France and Belgium, Olivia M. Ferris from IMAP USA, and Gabor Szendroi from IMAP Hungary.
Lasting 4 days and bringing together more IMAP members across the globe than ever before, the conference theme encompassed the 4 C’s: Commitment, Collaboration, Connection and Culture, all fundamental in the IMAP partnership’s continued success.
