**Includes reported and confirmed figures

The US Deal Pipeline is a weekly report that compiles market intelligence from the week prior on processes that have been active over the last six months. It also compiles a shortlist of late-stage origination.

Mergermarket defines Active Situations as those known to be currently in the market or prelaunch.

Mergermarket considers a sale “prelaunch” if a company is interviewing financial advisors for a potential sellside mandate; if a company has retained an advisor but been reported to have not yet launched a process; or if a company is undergoing fireside chats with prospective buyers. The classification also includes sale talks that, to the best of our ability, we have not been able to identify as a formalized auction.
