December was a busy month in the Food and Beverage M&A market, with several high-profile deals

being completed. In total, there were six transactions valued over $150 million in December. Overall,

2013 ended on a high note, with more than 65 transactions being completed in the fourth quarter, bringing

the 2013 food and beverage M&A total to more than 200 closed deals. This momentum is expected to

continue into 2014, as strong financing markets, growth oriented strategic buyers, and private equity fund

expirations fuel the demand for food and beverage transactions in the M&A market.
