The median takeover premium of Canadian public companies in the first half of 2022 was 40%, a 7% increase from the prior year, according to “Canadian M&A Insights” (Summer 2022) from Kroll. The Canadian M&A market had 925 completed transactions in the first half of 2022, down from 1,008 in in the first half of 2021, likely due to economic precariousness, the report says.
