The Call of America: Mergers and Acquisitions activity in the defence sector in 2008, and the outlook beyond 2010

Seminar Background

The deal landscape changed drastically in 2008 as a result of harsh economic conditions. Jane's looked beyond the headline figures and found continued strength in the sector, albeit with a changed participants profile and a different focus from recent years. Activity during the year was assessed by market sector, geographical location, and the deal participants, in addition to the financial approaches which underpinned deals. Forecasts to 2010 and beyond are based on the liquidity and financial profiles of likely participants; anticipated opportunities across the world; changing priorities of the leading markets; and the wider economic outlook.

The study of mergers and acquisitions activity and the outlook beyond 2010 will be the subject for this first in a series of online seminars which Jane's will be hosting throughout 2009.

Hear why one particular class of buyers rose to prominence

Examine the market sectors that that remained strong

Understand the drivers that will shape the acquisitions landscape to 2010 and beyond

Identify the sectors likely to thrive in the coming era of austerity.

Hosted by Jane's Industry Quarterly, this 60 minute online presentation will include a question and answer session during which you will be able to explore and discuss the topic with Jane's analysts in greater detail.
