Mergers & Acquisitions

When you buy or sell an operation or merge with another company, all of your stakeholders want to know what's happening. How well you communicate this information has long-term implications.

Clients look to Financial Relations Board for our experience and expert strategic communications counsel in any M&A transaction. Whether it’s hostile offers and defenses, proxy fights or divestitures, our professionals have provided value-added support to companies in a diverse range of industries.

We know it’s not the size of the deal that matters as much as the indications for your company's future. We work closely with your executives, bankers, lawyers and accountants to ensure that all of your stakeholders fully understand the transaction.

Persuasive and effective communication to all constituents while maintaining confidentiality before the event involves a high degree of coordination. FRB is well positioned to assist clients on their financial communications needs, including:

  • Determining the key messages for each audience
  • Developing comprehensive formats for sharing the messages
  • Working with investment bankers and outside attorneys to ensure communications flow
  • Developing a financial media communications plan that reaches target media audiences
  • Managing leaks
  • Preparing the company for meetings with key stakeholders
  • Developing systems for sharing the information and monitoring feedback
  • Conducting follow-up with key audiences
