M&A market developments and the valuation environment in Q3

Moderate M&A activity at the beginning of the second half of 2021

The positive development in the tech M&A market in the first and second quarter of 2021 did not continue in the third quarter. The German tech M&A market declined from over 150 completed transactions in the second quarter to 100 transactions in the third quarter of 2021. Next to that, valuation levels have also seen a slight decrease as the ‘hot’ market environment seems to slow down. Our report analysis the current valuation development and addresses the following topics:

• The development of the global M&A activity, as well as background information on selected transactions

• The development of the current valuation level in Europe

• The development of the various sub-segments in the tech stock market

Furthermore, we present one of our latest TMT deals: the sale of Vabi Holding B.V., a Dutch expert in building simulation and reliable decision-making software, to Vitec Software Group AB, the Nordic market leader in software development for niche markets listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange Nasdaq.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions regarding the tech sector.
