Jordan Edmiston's Scott Peters on media M&A

2010-05-24 30

Pent-up demand combined with likely changes next year in taxes for capital gains and private equity firms' carried interest will make 2010 a year jam-packed with middle market media M&A deals, says investment banker Scott Peters, the co-president of The Jordan Edmiston Group Inc., in The Deal's video. The fourth quarter may prove a "disaster as companies rush to close deals before the 12/31 window" and competition for the services of bankers and law firms will be fierce as dealmakers struggle to complete transactions before year's end. The interview with Peters is part of our special series on Faces of the Middle Market. Read the full story in The Deal magazine, watch the videos, listen to the podcasts and read the white paper.
