Bought a new company recently?
August 31, 2007
If your company has a strategy of acquisition - why not explain it to your potential investors?
Imperial Tobacco not only explain who they’ve acquired, but when - and give their acquisition criteria. If I happened to have a company ripe for acquisition, I might be very interested indeed in this information, but even if I didn’t, investors are likely to want to understand this strategy.
Hanson provide an archive of press releases discussing their acquisitions and disposals going back to 1997. This provides a useful history.
It occurs to me that a nice feature on this page would be a timeline showing the acquisitions, disposals and spin-offs - something like the Aviva history timeline might be invaluable on a page discussing acquisitions.
