Parties to asset sales and M&A transactions must manage, examine and share voluminous records relating to the companies or assets being acquired or sold. To protect their businesses and comply with applicable regulations, the owners of these records must take all appropriate steps to control the disclosure and use of these records at all times. Merger & Acquistion transaction participants historically have created physical M&A data rooms to house and produce documents and to monitor the use and examination of these documents. As a result, only one prospective acquirer could access the merger and acquisition information at a given time.
The complexities of these M&A transactions, combined with growing requirements of transparency, audit, shortened transaction cycles and, in the case of an asset sale, the ability to create a larger bidding party to maximize asset values have clearly demonstrated the inadequacies of accepted paper-based business processes and traditional merger and acuisition data rooms.
