Introducing the new Online Research Tool you cannot afford to be without.

 
Every M & A deal or corporate finance transaction entered into by any SA listed company is recorded. Details include the date, asset, value and various tombstone parties supplying transactional services.

 

In 2003, also started recording an increasing number of unlisted company deals.

 

Administrative matters such as changes in share capital, or profit warnings are also recorded along with details of current listings, delistings, and company suspensions.
Each quarter the Tombstone parties are ranked by total value and total number of transactions advised on.

Rankings are done in the following categories :

  • Investment Advisers
  • Sponsors
  • Legal Advisers
  • Reporting Accountants

Launched in early 2007, DealMakers Online is a comprehensive research tool that encompasses all the data available in the DealMakers Magazine since 2000 plus loads more extra information  such as share prices and P/E's at the time of announcement.

The system is entirely web-based and covers the following transactions :

  • M&A activity undertaken by SA listed companies and their major subsidiaries
  • M&A activity by unlisted SA companies
  • General Corporate Finance includes transactions such as share issues (including IPO's), share repurchases, unbundling's, listings and refinancing (incl. bonds and securitisations by SA listed companies)
  • Company Affairs provides all the information on JSE listings, delistings and suspensions. Changes in share capital, name changes and audit opinions are also included, with a new set of data for DealMakers, namely Directors Dealings.

All results are displayed in Microsoft Excel and can be viewed onscreen or downloaded to your computer. This allows the user to define the results in any way required. Value fields and date fields are sortable within Excel.

The database covers transactions since 2000 and is currently being uploaded monthly. As the system is web-based it can be accessed from anywhere or anytime as long as you an internet connection.
