M & A - USA –
December 2006 .
According to FactSet Mergerstat, the total number of public-to-public deals announced between 2002 and August 2006 was less than half of what it was from 1997 to 2001, while aggregate M&A spending on those deals plunged to $1.4 trillion from a whopping $3.2 trillion.

In the case of public-to-public transactions in the U.S. , executives and boards at U.S. public companies may be traveling a wiser path than they once did. Learn why the public-to-public M&A deal market has slowed and why this just might result in fewer deals coming back to haunt U.S. public companies.
