Given the turn in the market last week and the fear of sovereign defaults, I expected deal activity to slow down or spreads to increase for existing deals. However we saw the same number of deals last week as in the week prior with 6 new deals announced and one deal that closed. As for the increase in spreads, we saw the spread widen for the acquisition of The Allied Defense Group (ADG) by Chemring. The 40% discount that ADG is trading to the original offer price of $7.25 indicates that the market is assuming that this merger will not succeed in its current form. ADG has once again moved the special meeting of shareholders to approve the Chemring offer to June 1, 2010 after Chemring indicated it needs more time to complete its review of ADG.
