Editor's Notes

- March 9, 2009 – Aug 4, 2017 Bull Market
- Key Message: Tech M&A for 2016 YTD remains strong, just like 2015, a very strong year We can see from the Corum Index how strong 2015 was for tech M&A. Here we see a snapshot the activity from Feb 2015 compared to the same for Feb 2016. In the broader market, the number of deals is down but only slightly for the month. This month to month fluctuation is normal while mega deals are up. The pipeline indices are down while financial buyers and investors catch their breath. Remember though the amount of dry powder (unspent cash) that remains to be invested. The Attributes remain steady, little notable change.
- Now, let’s turn to the Corum Index on deals – valuations, volume, structures, …etc.. This report is done monthly for six major sectors and quarterly for all 26 markets. It’s presented at our online M&A Monthlies which are broadcast to 36 countries the second Thursday at 10 a.m. Pacific Mountain Time. How many of you have attended one of these monthly or quarterly events? (See a show of hands – usually not more than 20%.) Well, if you’re serious about selling in the next year or two, I would urge you to tune in to these broadcasts. They have all the latest information on valuations, deal structures, who’s selling, plus special market reports, and insider presentations on trends that you need to know to best position for optimal value. Further, we have guest speakers – recent headliners, buyers, or CEOs who have just sold and give you the lowdown on what it’s like in the M&A trenches right now. Here’s the latest Corum Index. [NEW COPY NEEDED] By the way, an example of the full 26 market report is in the annual report. (Have them pull that back up) Everyone open up to the market sections to see more detail. There are also special reports by Corum Staff – considered world experts in the major trends.

- We’ve reached the end. The celebration part. Selling software, IT and related technology companies is very satisfying. You become close to your clients after such an intense process. Unfortunately, the closings are often very anti-climactic. Ending with a whimper with some government filing, a wire transfer, the parties scattered across the globe. That why once a year we take our clients who successfully sold to Langara in the gulf of Alaska – we’ve been doing this for 23 years. You can more about these trips, and comments from those company owners like you who have attended. So, I’ll close by simply inviting you to go fishing with us. Thank you for your time today.
