Middle-market mergers and acquisitions had a great fourth quarter in 2012. Dealmakers were busy closing deals ahead of the then-anticipated increase in taxes. While the first quarter of 2013 has been relatively less active as compared to the end of 2012, there are signs that deal activity, especially in middle market, will pick up in the second half of 2013.
What is middle-market? It commonly refers to M&A deals (such as private equity buyouts) between $25 million and $1 billion; this wide range in turn gets broken down to 3 sublevels: lower ($25 million to $100 million), core ($100 million to $500 million) and upper ($500 million to $1 billion), with the lower most active in 2012.
