M&A and Intellectual Property in the Food & Drink Industry

Aon's experts discuss:

• Risk transfer tools to bridge the gaps between sellers and buyers in M&A negotiations
• How such tools, now common features of M&A transactions in this sector, are increasingly being used to address balance sheet concerns arising from business-as-usual activities
• Utilising Intellectual Property as a value lever, harnessing the power of the insurance market to enable non-dilutive IP-backed lending structures
• Examples of how Aon have supported their clients in the Food & Drink manufacturing sector with inorganic growth including acquisitions and disposals.
