In this presentation, we will explore the fundamental differences between divestitures and carveouts and reverse acquisitions. While these three strategies may seem similar on the surface, they involve very different processes, outcomes, and implications for both the buyer and the seller. We will examine the key factors that distinguish these strategies from each other, including the motivation behind each approach, the mechanics of the transaction, and the impact on the organizations involved. By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of why divestitures and carveouts are not simply reverse acquisitions, and why each strategy requires careful consideration and planning.
THIS GLOBAL ROUNDTABLE IS OPEN TO ALL HR M&A PRACTITIONERS.
We host global roundtables the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

What is the HR M&A Roundtable?
The HR M&A Roundtable is a forum for Human Resources professionals and others managing the people, leadership, and culture issues in Mergers & Acquisitions. We offer roundtable sessions, training, tools, and an annual conference.
Who participates in roundtable discussions?
Participation is limited to HR or Corporate Development professionals who are either in a role with M&A responsibilities or who anticipate managing a transaction in the next 12 months.
Where are roundtable sessions held?
We host global virtual roundtable sessions every month. These 60-minute sessions focus on a particular topic of interest to practitioners. Discussions are led by a seasoned HR M&A practitioner who will help ensure what you share can be applied to your deal work. Past topics have included leadership retention, culture assessment, global deals, and total rewards alignment.
We also offer Regional Roundtable sessions in many cities, including Chicago, New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Denver, and London. These sessions usually take place face-to-face but have moved to a virtual format in response to the pandemic.
