Arbitrage Spreads On Pending Mergers & Acquisitions

The following provides information on selected merger and acquisition deals. All figures are updated, with share prices as of 10 a.m. EST on Friday.

Annualized rate of return is based on Friday's date and the expected closing date and isn't compounded. Expected closing dates are compiled from company statements and reports, and when a time period is cited, that information is provided with that time period's midpoint date, which was used to make the annualized return calculation.

Deals are listed alphabetically by acquirer, and spreads don't include dividend or interest payments. "Current discount" refers to the discount at which the target company's stock is trading compared with the acquirer's offer.

If the target stock is trading higher than the offer, the amount is referred to as the "current premium." Deal values don't include the assumption of debt.
