The Merger Arbitrage Commentary category is a series of articles by MergerArbitrageLimited.com. These articles provide the reader with specific information and analysis on a variety of subjects. These may be larger or more complex deals that require additional commentary or deals that we use as an example to demonstrate an important issue. We may also include reviews of third party articles or books.
