17 211 Outlook DRAFT
18 211 M&A Outlook GDP growth is one of the best predictors of M&A activity. With positive GDP growth projected for 211, improvement in M&A activity over the next 12 months is also predicted. The stock market recovery suggests increased M&A activity in 211. Improvement in the availability of credit was seen 21. Continued easing of the credit markets will support increased M&A activity. Capital overhang for private equity funds continues to remain near record highs. Necessary deployment of this capital bodes well for increased M&A activity going forward. Healthcare and financial regulation, improving consumer sentiment and revitalization of manufacturing activity may provide an impetus for increased M&A activity in the healthcare, financial, consumer discretionary and industrial sectors (leaders in 21) heading into Outlook Economic Environment Stock Market Performance Credit Market Strength Investor Confidence CEO Confidence Bankruptcies / Restructuring Political Landscape Shareholder Activism Valuation The dollar has remained generally weak versus other currencies, which may provide an opportunity for foreign buyers. 18
