Recent Implications For Reverse Triangular Mergers In The British Virgin Islands

According to the 2011 Q1 edition of Assembling value, a quarterly report by PricewaterhouseCoopers on global merger and acquisition ("M&A") activity in the industrial manufacturing industry, there has been an increase of 157 percent in volume and 622 percent in value over the same period in 2010 with an average M&A deal now valued at $500 million. Therefore, understanding how the implications of developing trends in the M&A market, including those in Delaware, London and Hong Kong, become critical to a deal involving a British Virgin Islands' ("BVI") company is important to these upcoming deals especially since the BVI serves as the corporate domicile of choice when considering corporate transactions.
