Dear Readers of The Deal: Thank you for participating in our second annual Most Admired Corporate Dealmakers survey, in which you can help us identify the companies in three major industry sectors that are most respected for their dealmaking abilities. To enter into the raffle to win a SkyCaddie SG5 (the #1 GPS rangefinder on Golf Digest's 2009 Hot List) valued at $399, please enter your e-mail address at the end of the survey. We will use this e-mail address only to contact you if you are the winner of the raffle. The results of this study will be published in The Deal magazine and The Deal Pipeline and posted on The Deal's website. Background: We've compiled lists of the ten most transaction-intensive companies in each of these sectors, and we're asking a cross-section of the deal community (corporate executives, investment bankers, lawyers, private equity investors, transaction services consultants and others) to tell us which companies they think are doing the best job. Companies appear on the lists in alphabetical order, based on a formula that counts both acquisitions and divestitures and also takes account of the volume of deals compared to the size of the company. We looked at deals closed between 01/01/06 and 06/30/09 by U.S.-based public companies with a market capitalization greater than $5 billion on the latter date or, in the case of the media sector, with a market cap greater than $1 billion on the latter date. Being on the list simply means a company did a comparatively large number of deals. Whether the company did them well is up to you and other industry experts to say. Instructions: You'll be judging the companies on four basic criteria. Information on the dealmaking activity of each company is available as needed. This information is compiled by Standard & Poor's Capital IQ, working in collaboration with editors at The Deal.The survey should take only a few minutes of your time. Your responses will be kept completely anonymous.
