Pick a large merger or acquisition that occurred sometime between 1/2005 and 9/2014 in an industry that at least one of your group members (groups are assigned the first day of class) is familiar with (this does not need to be limited to U.S. corporations).

I would like you to write a brief report giving the basic details of the transaction and what has happened since the deal was completed. The report should be no longer than 2 typed pages in total (i.e., including any supporting tables or graphs). You should rely on multiple outside sources to complete the assignment. I would suggest that you do some electronic news searches on the transaction and also that you look at official SEC filings which can be located on the internet. If you need additional help finding information on the deal you select, please contact me. Below are some questions that you may want to address in your report if they are applicable to the transaction you select. You are welcome to write about any other aspects of the deal that you believe are relevant or interesting for understanding the economic and strategic issues associated with a large merger or acquisition."
