The Challenge

Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, privatizations, and restructurings, are often transformational. But they also come with heightened scrutiny, market speculation, regulatory hurdles, and stakeholder uncertainty. Poor transaction communications by companies can lead to valuation loss, reputational damage, employee attrition, deal failure, and even shareholder revolt.

Without a well-managed transaction communications strategy, companies risk losing control of the narrative and weakening stakeholder trust at a critical inflection point. MCI has been involved in $5.7 billion in corporate actions that include $3.1 billion in acquisitions and $2.6 billion in financings-all successful. Work with us to make your transaction a success!

Our Solution

Transaction Communications that are Clear and Strategic Across the Entire Deal Lifecycle

Our Transaction Communications services ensure your deal is supported by a compelling and cohesive narrative, tailored for investors, regulators, employees, customers, and media. We provide strategic counsel and hands-on execution throughout the transaction lifecycle, from initial planning and announcement to integration and post-close communications.

Our offering includes:

  • Transaction Narrative Development: We position the strategic rationale of your deal to highlight synergies, accretion, alignment with long-term goals, and shareholder value creation.
  • Stakeholder Communication Strategy: We craft clear messaging for each audience—investors, employees, customers, regulators, and media to ensure alignment and transparency at every step.
  • Announcement Planning & Execution: We prepare investor decks, news releases, FAQs, leadership statements, webcast scripts, and media briefings to provide context and shape sentiment.
  • Regulatory & Proxy Communication Support: We guide communications related to shareholder votes, proxy materials, and other disclosures to ensure clarity.
  • Integration & Post-Transaction Messaging: We support ongoing communications to reinforce cultural alignment, track progress on strategic goals, and maintain confidence in the deal’s execution.

Whether you’re navigating a friendly acquisition, launching a financing, defending against hostile action, or announcing a transformative partnership, MCI’s Transaction Communications service gives you the tools and strategy to manage the message and secure stakeholder support.

Raising capital in the public markets can unlock new growth for an established company. However, success requires diligent preparation and strategy. This post outlines how public companies can prepare effectively – from defining the use of proceeds and planning the raise, choosing between equity vs debt, tailoring investor communications, building key relationships, and executing a capital raise with confidence.

Not all outcomes of an initial public offering (IPO) are created equal. The size of your engaged investor pool determines the quality of price discovery and the depth of ongoing market support. This is often the difference between a strong debut and one that falls flat.
