Are all transactions in the Factset Mergerstat / BVR Control Premium Study™ stock purchases, or are some asset purchases?
The vast majority of transactions in the CPS are share purchases. Generally asset purchases get weeded out in our screening process for a variety of reasons ~ price is for assets only, no per share amount for shareholders, sale is through bankruptcy courts, no financials available for assets only, etc.
