The application of control premia can be the most influential factor in many business valuations. No wonder—the new dataset covered in the just-released “4Q 2022 Control Premium Study” includes premia for non-U.S. transactions ranging from -86% to 414%. The new report is now available free to subscribers of the FactSet Mergerstat/BVR Control Premium Study platform. Login to your “My BVR” page to download the report.

Fortunately, the average control premia internationally is hovering near the 30% figure familiar to most UK analysts, despite all of the new UK regulations and governance changes.

The issue highlights control premium and minority discount data as of the fourth quarter of 2022 and includes charts and graphs that provide analysis on equity control premiums, minority discounts on equity, and the invested capital control premium by industry sector, percentage acquired, deal size, strategic and financial buyer breakouts, method of payment, transaction multiples, and many more.
