FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alacra™ Added to Factiva Partner Network with Corporate Portal Providers
London, 11 June 2001 Mergerstat, the leading supplier of US mergers and acquisitions data, is to supply UK and European M&A information to Alacra, Inc., a leading global provider of business and financial information.
Mergerstat has leveraged its recent merger with Corpfin Ltd, the leading provider of UK and European corporate finance information, to extend its coverage to international M&A. The European data supplied will complement the US and US cross border information currently available from Alacra. The expanded coverage combines Mergerstat�s well recognised wealth of accurate and detailed financial information supplemented by Corpfin�s acknowledged expertise in reporting deal structures and advisors.
�This data extension is one of the first fruits of collaboration between two powerful suppliers of transaction-critical information allowing Mergerstat to effectively cover M&A activity globally,� said Dr Brian Rarity, MD of Corpfin and CEO of the recently merged companies. �By offering Mergerstat through Alacra we will capitalise on their international reach into professional service organisations,� he added.
Don Roll, MD - Europe, Alacra comments: �This new data is available now through our premium database and our search engine. The ease of use and flexible search functionality inherent in the database will make the expanded Mergerstat data even more useful to analysts. �Our customers can easily find specific information on a particular deal or search for transactions by a wide range of criteria. You can either choose from preformatted reports or create your own from an extensive report menu. All reports are downloaded in spreadsheet format to allow for additional analysis and manipulation.�
