Valuing the target company is a crucial step in the M&A process to determine its worth and negotiate a fair purchase price. Valuation methods may include discounted cash flow analysis, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, and asset-based valuation approaches. The valuation process considers factors such as the target company’s financial performance, growth prospects, market position, and industry trends.

M&A transactions may require regulatory approval from government authorities, antitrust agencies, and industry regulators to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Regulatory approval processes vary by jurisdiction and may involve submitting filings, providing additional information, and obtaining clearance before the transaction can proceed.

Once due diligence is completed and the target company’s value is determined, negotiations begin between the buyer and seller to agree on the terms and conditions of the transaction. This includes negotiating the purchase price, deal structure, payment terms, representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, and other contractual terms outlined in the acquisition agreement.
