After spending time across the US, Canada, and Europe with investors, I recently embarked on my first global office tour to connect with colleagues and the investment community across Europe. My journey took me to Stockholm, Vilnius, and London, as I celebrated my 4th month at Nasdaq. Throughout my visit, I hosted a series of town halls at each Nasdaq office location, met with our local Finance team members, and connected with members of our Employee Resource Group, Women In Nasdaq. Each of these sessions was deeply collaborative and filled with excitement. I learned more about the key strategic priorities within each country and across the broader region as we discussed how Nasdaq is poised to continue partnering with our clients to solve their biggest challenges. It was great to see first-hand the tremendous energy, innovation, and opportunity that drive our business forward! I want to thank our employees, clients, investors, and partners across Europe for such a successful and engaging trip. Meeting with all of you has been a highlight of my time at Nasdaq and I am already looking forward to my next trip!

🌐 Exploring Corporate Actions: USA 🇺🇸 vs. Europe 🇪🇺 Dear Connections, Corporate actions are essential elements of the global financial landscape, but the way they unfold in the United States and Europe can differ significantly. Let's delve into the distinctions with real-life examples! 🔍 **USA**: In the USA, companies often opt for stock splits to make their shares more affordable and attract a broader investor base. An excellent illustration is Apple Inc. (AAPL), which executed a 4-for-1 stock split in August 2020. This strategic move aimed to lower the share price, enhancing accessibility for retail investors. 🌟 **Europe**: In Europe, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are commonplace, fostering consolidation within industries. An illustrative instance is the acquisition of ARM Holdings by SoftBank Group, a Japanese conglomerate. This cross-border deal demonstrated Europe's openness to foreign investment and the global reach of its companies. 📈 **Impact**: These regional differences reflect the diverse market dynamics and regulatory environments in the USA and Europe. Investors and businesses must understand these nuances to navigate successfully. 🤝 Let's keep the discussion going! Share your thoughts on corporate actions in these regions. Are you more inclined towards one approach over the other? 💼🌍 Hit 👍 if you loved it and 🔄 too.

Nordic M&A: 2023 Trends 🚀 In a rapidly changing environment, the Nordic M&A market unveils exciting trends that shape its direction: 1, Tech Resilience: 🌟 In the face of uncertainties, tech-focused acquisitions remain robust. The pursuit of innovation and competitive advantage continues to drive strategic deals. We think that sellers can still leverage incremental levels for command premiums in valuation despite short-term disruptions. The long-term digital transformation theme fosters a tech-driven M&A landscape. 2, Sustainability Spotlight: ♻ Responsible business practices take centre stage in M&A strategies. Companies align with eco-friendly initiatives, leading to a holistic approach where financial gains coexist with ethical considerations. Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it's a driving force shaping deals. 3, Cross-Border Growth: 🌍 Nordic businesses chart new territories through cross-border collaborations. Pursuing international markets, diverse talent pools, and strategic partnerships drives M&A activities. As global connections strengthen, Nordic companies are ready to explore broader growth opportunities. Amid these shifts, businesses must reimagine their M&A strategies. Balancing innovation, sustainability, and cross-border initiatives is essential for thriving in this evolving landscape. Let's explore how these trends can transform your M&A approach. Would you be ready to navigate these trends for your business? Let's connect and strategize for success. 🤝 #EQUIT #businessgrowth #mergersandacquisitions #tech #sustainability

Hey folks, ever wondered how private equity works? Well, it's like this: imagine a group of investors pooling their resources to acquire a slice of ownership in a private company. These investors, often backed by private equity firms, inject capital into businesses with growth potential, aiming to boost their value over time. Let's take the Dell Inc. example in 2013 when Silver Lake Partners acquired the company. By going private, Dellhad the freedom to make strategic moves away from the public eye. Silver Lake's investment played a pivotal role in Dell's successful transformation, showcasing the strategic impact private equity can have on businesses. Intriguing, right? 🚀 #PrivateEquity #BusinessTransformation

The Deutsche Börse event on 16 November Stefan Maassen refers to in his post will be a conversation about the differences between the day-to-day IR work in the U.S. and Germany. My Dentons Global Advisors colleague Chris Kettmann and I have held conversations with many listed companies in both countries, of all shapes and sizes, to find out what these differences, and similarities, really are. One similarity is how IR teams spend their working day: on both sides of the pond, about half of their time on average is spent on internal activities such as information gathering, strategy and messaging development, internal alignment and team activities. The other half is spent on external engagement, ie, the conversation with the market - the Buy and the Sell Side. Of course this varies sharply across the reporting cycle - just ahead of results, IR goes into quiet mode as far as external engagement is concerned, and spends almost 100% of its time preparing them ahead of the big day. Dr. Sandra Binder-Tietz will complement our insights with her views on Supervisory Board communications, based on her doctoral thesis and insights into how the German dualistic governance system works in comparison with the monistic systems practiced in the US and UK. Thank you Stefan and the Deutsche Börse for inviting us to share our findings with #ipo candidates in Germany. We are looking forward to the event. Anyone interested to attend, please let us know. #listedinfrankfurt #DeutscheBörse #capitalmarkets

The Unexpected Powerhouse of Business: The Middle Market Ever noticed the sheer power of middle-market companies navigating the business landscape? They contain a unique spark that often goes overlooked. The key to their resilience lies in their adaptability. With their size, they can pivot swiftly and seize new market opportunities, plowing through turbulent economic times more efficiently than larger corporations. Further, middle-market firms are frequently ripe with innovation and ambition, continually transforming industries and driving growth. By being overlooked, they frequently become attractive investments or acquisitions for savvy investors seeking to capitalize on these hidden gems. Remember, dynamism isn't always loud. It's often found in the quiet resilience of middle-market firms, shaping industries from behind the scenes.
