Funding a Cleantech Company Series: M&A Activity June 28, 2010 | 3:00pm-7:00pm Agenda 3:00-3:30: Registration & Networking 3:30-5:30: Panel Discussion and Q&A 5:30-7:00: Networking Reception We have seen changes in M&A activity in the cleantech industry, but how does that affect the future of your company and the industry as a whole? Has M&A stalled or are deals fewer and far between but larger in scope? Alternatively, has the pace quickened but with monumental changes to the structure of a deal? Most importantly, how can you position your company to make acquisition an attractive option? Join this panel to hear M&A strategy perspective from the acquirer and the acquired, the investor, and the lawyer. Our Panel discussions are candid, interactive and informal. We want you to walk away with the real story behind how things work so you can make it happen yourself.
