Mercer Capital is proud to again be a sponsor for the 2023 Acquire or Be Acquired (AOBA) Conference presented by Bank Director magazine. The conference will be held January 29–31, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona.
The AOBA Conference is regarded as the financial industry’s premier M&A event for bank CEOs, boards of directors, and key leadership teams. The conference focuses on helping bank officers and directors better understand the economy, explore paths to creating greater shareholder value, and focus on how the competitive landscape continues to evolve.
Three of Mercer Capital’s professionals, Jeff Davis, Andy Gibbs, and Jay Wilson will be in attendance, and Jay will be playing in the L. William Seidman Annual Acquire or Be Acquired Golf Tournament.
Additionally, Jay Wilson will be presenting a breakout session titled “CU/Bank Transactions, Non-Traditional Growth Opportunities, and Valuations.” His session covers the universe of strategic options for banks and how they have expanded to include credit union acquirers and developing or acquiring non-traditional lines of business (mortgage, insurance, wealth management, or FinTech). He will provide insights into these trends, how they intersect, and discuss how acquirers determine a valuation range and model deal metrics for banks with both traditional and non-traditional lines of business.
