In a competitive auction environment, bidders are always looking for an edge over the competition - and "bid sweeteners" are one way of doing that. Come hear a panel of leading M&A lawyers and investment bankers as they discuss what non-price bid sweeteners move the needle with private sellers. Join:

Chuck Aquino, Managing Director, Western Reserve Partners
Diego Gómez-Cornejo, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery LLP
Soren Lindstrom, Partner, Alston & Bird LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

Aside from the deal price, what monetary terms can a bidder offer that are effective in improving its odds?
What's the best approach to reps & warranties to catch a seller's eye? Is a liberal MAE clause better than a light rep & warranty package?
How much can efforts to improve the timing and certainty of a deal enhance a bidder's chances?
Can rep & warranty insurance improve a bidder's position - or is that just the price of admission to the process these days?
What indemnity and escrow terms will help a bidder stand out from the competition?
At what point does "price conquer all?" How big a gap between bidders will cause non-bid sweeteners to lose their effectiveness?
