A quick glimpse at the Merge-O-Meter shows that it has been 367 days since the Sirius-XM merger was announced.
And the Wall Street Journal Deal Journal Blogs has assembled together an interesting set of metrics that put the whole transaction into perspective.
What Deal Journal did was take a look at all the merger/acquisition activity (courtesy of FactSet MergerMetrics) since the Sirius-XM merger was announced, and they came up with a series of numbers. And since I’m a LOST fanboy, I figured I’d make those numbers look like the countdown clock… just because.
So here goes…
349: The number of announced definitive full acquisitions of US publicly traded companies, since the Sirius-XM announcement.
230: The number of those deals that were completed.
97: The number of those deals still pending.
22: The number of those deals that were withdrawn.
