Hallo there, I'm student writing a seminar paper on Business Valuation using the market transaction approach. Now I need to find some information on recent M &A cases in Business Intelligence software industry. But it turn out to be that it seems not that easy to get the data for free, I'm just a student and cannot afford for the subscription fee at big online databank. Maybe somebody could tell me how to get such information for free. I tried to check out the recent news like Oracle acquired Hyperion, but it just take too much time and I need more detailed information on the financial side... Thanks a lot in advance!!!

If you look in the S4 disclosures, you should be able to find the information you are looking for. These are available on the SEC.gov website, but you'll need to know which company to look for. Good luck.
