PRSM2018 National Conference

Understanding and Benefitting From Mergers & Acquisitions (Room Canal B)

Please note: Allegiance Capital, an approved PRSM Business Partner, will explain the M&A process, and different options available to business owners interested in selling or finding investors to grow their business. 

Mergers and acquisitions are top of mind of supplier organizations as they are directly impacted by shifts in the retail sector and as many owners approach retirement and look to monetize their life's work. It is important that you understand the players and processes involved in the merger and acquisition arena as both rapid changes in the industry and your own personal goals may push M&A to the forefront of your thinking sooner than you might expect.

  • Learn about the current state of mergers and acquisitions.
  • Understand the different types of buyers and investors involved in mergers and acquisitions.
  • Comprehend the role of the investment banker – as it pertains to the seller and buyer.
  • Be able to anticipate the timeline of a typical M&A transaction.
  • Become familiar with the M&A process and know what to expect during and after the transaction.
  • Assess how to best position yourself for a merger or acquisition transaction.
