What is the M&A process letter?

The M&A process letter is a template or example which assists transaction advisory consultants, investment bankers, and M&A practitioners with a sound basis from which to outline the proposed transaction steps in an M&A process.

As the M&A process progresses down the funnel and the potential buyer pool narrows, bidder(s) will typically provide a letter of intent. Prior to submission of the letter of intent by the bidder(s), the M&A bid process letter provides information to M&A transaction professionals/ investment bankers on the M&A timeline, instructions, and contact information for all future communication, as well as any terms that the bidders must include if they make an offer.

The M&A bid process letters accompany the confidential information memorandum distributed to potential bidders in an M&A process.

What information is included in the M&A process letters?

The M&A bid process letters addresses:
•  The schedule (i.e. timetable, number of bidding rounds and deadlines for bid submissions);
•  Instructions for obtaining data room access
•  Contact information for all notices and communications; and
