There are several differences between the two databases. 1) The Mergerstat/BVR CPS database contains only deals where the result is that a controlling interest is being exchanged (more than 50%), while Alacra covers all deals regardless of the percentage interest being exchanged. 2) The Mergerstat/BVR CPS database bases the control premium on an Unaffected Price (as well as 1-day, 1-week, 1-month, and 2-month price), while Alacra only uses a 1-day, 1-week, and 1-month price.
