Compared to the first quarter of this year, the sectoral composition of the parties involved has not changed. The financial sector still bought the most (19%), the TMT sector prevailed among the acquired entities (19%), while private investors sold the most often (59%). Was the pandemic visible in the transaction structure in the second quarter?
Expert from FORDATA
During the pandemic, closed and isolated entrepreneurs did not lose their minds and used this time for transformation and restructuring of companies, remote work, savings in renting premises, replacing delegations with online meetings and so on. The world has gone into virtual reality. Similarly, projects that have been conducted virtually in VDR for many years have become even more anchored in this reality. 50% of transactions used Virtual Data Rooms in the last quarter.
