Unique Features of the M&A Monitor Database The unrivalled quality of the M&A Monitor database is based on the following: the database analyses and interprets all relevant publicly available information about a transaction and presents it in a user-friendly format which combines rigorous valuation analysis with detailed textual sections, thus providing a "one-stop-shop" for deal specific information; the information used on the database for transaction analysis is sourced from original materials published by the parties to the transaction and regulatory bodies including additional information which comes into the public domain subsequent to completion of a transaction; different sector and deal specific templates are used in order to enable the database to best reflect the individual characteristics of certain transactions (e.g Public bids as opposed to Private transactions) and certain sectors (e.g. Banking as opposed to Industrial). transactions are typically analysed by analysts with the necessary language skills or sector experience.
