Torys LLP launches its 8th annual 2013 M&A Top Trends
TORONTO, Jan. 4, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Torys LLP released its 8th annual M&A Top
Trends today. Each year the international business law firm identifies
and discusses trends in mergers and acquisitions and how these
developments will shape the year ahead. The 2013 report focuses on
international transactions, hostile bids, shareholder activism, deal
litigation and foreign investment.
We anticipate that the following five trends will shape business in
2013:
1. Canadian acquirors will focus on mitigating risk as outbound deals
increase.
2. Hostile bids will become more difficult as target boards "just say
slow."
3. Activist-driven transactions will increase.
4. Shareholder litigation will rise.
5. Foreign investors will change their investment strategies to
compete for Canadian oil and gas assets.
To read the entire text of our M&A Top Trends for 2013, and to watch the
accompanying video, please visit www.torys.com/matrends2013.
