This meeting will examine the role of tax in M&A through the lens of Viasat's $7.3bn acquisition of Inmarsat in May 2023. The deal reflects a wider consolidation in the global satellite communications industry. US-owned Viasat will base its international business at Inmarsat's former HQ in London. Inmarsat was previously owned by a consortium of private equity and pension funds which had de-listed Inmarsat from the FTSE 100 in 2019. Attendees will hear the insights and discuss the lessons from the case study with the help of the key Inmarsat tax leads in role during the lifespan of the deal as well as post-transaction.
