ArbJournal is an Internet-based research service for merger arbitrage,
event-driven and special situations investment funds. The service
is dedicated to delivering authoritative and value-added analysis of
legal and regulatory issues that drive mergers & acquisitions,
hostile takeovers, corporate litigation and other special
situations. The service was founded in 2004. The title of
the publication is intentionally succinct and self-descriptive:
ArbJournal is no-nonsense, clear, to-the-point and, most importantly,
representative of our customer-first orientation. Based on an extensive
background in the business, we know what our customers demand, and that
is precisely what this service supplies on a daily, real-time
basis. ArbJournal provides editorial coverage of both United
States, Canadian, European and Australian merger arbitrage situations.
The service provides research content in both real-time and historical
formatting, and subscribers may choose to receive their content via
email alerts as well. Features of the service include:
- A daily, real-time journal of research content and deal commentary
- Detailed files for each transaction being covered with all
related content
- Historical files for every transaction previously covered
- Deals organized by industry with timelines and regulatory outcomes
- Organized and updated "critical path recaps" for every transaction
- A list of each day's events (deal calls, earnings calls,
regulatory deadlines)
- A Regulatory Library with details on specific regulatory
procedures and precedents
- An API-level subscription option
The ArbJournal editorial staff -- which combines for more than 80 years

Publishing
Policy:
ArbJournal automatically covers deals with a publicly-traded U.S. or Canadian
target company and a transaction value of at least $300 million (and sufficient public float to create arbitrage opportunities).
The threshold for European coverage is €500 million in deal
value. We follow and analyze all required regulatory reviews,
legal issues and relevant deal documents. Litigation arising out
of the M&A context is also analyzed. Subscribers may request
coverage of transactions or situations that are not already on our
radar screen, and as long as there is sufficient interest amongst our
other subscribers we will cover the requested item. We begin
publishing at 7:00 am EST and typically conclude at 5:30 pm EST,
depending on the developments of the day.
