Deal Intelligence is not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Every material fact is taken from documents that are already public, or from arithmetic on those documents. Read the independence and disclaimer before you treat a number as something you can act on.
This page is the legal and independence record for Deal Intelligence. It applies to every report, the hub, and these methodology pages. If a sentence in an article ever sounded like a recommendation, this page still controls.
Read this first
Deal Intelligence is general information for a professional audience. It is not advice. It is not a research report issued under any sell-side, broker-dealer, or independent-research regime. It is not a prospectus, scheme booklet, fairness opinion, valuation, solicitation, or invitation to deal in securities or digital assets. You should not act on it without your own documents and your own advisers.
Not advice, in plain terms
Nothing on Deal Intelligence is:
- Investment advice, personal or general, in Australia or anywhere else.
- Legal, tax, accounting, structuring, or regulatory advice.
- A recommendation to buy, sell, hold, subscribe, accept, reject, vote, exercise, or not exercise.
- A statement that a price is fair, a premium is adequate, or a close will happen.
- An offer to act for any party to the transaction being written about.
Readers in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Singapore, Hong Kong or elsewhere get the same product: a public-record explainer. Local securities laws still apply to you. This site does not tailor the page to your circumstances, your licence, or your clients.
Past transactions described here are not a guide to future returns, future deal flow, or the outcome of any open offer.
Public sources, no inside track
Reports are compiled from information that is already public, or from arithmetic on that information. The hierarchy is on Public sources. The desk does not receive, and does not want, material non-public information for this product.
If Acquiry is later retained on a matter that overlaps a published report, the published report is not updated into a pitch document. It stays a reading of the public file as of its modified date. Mandate work product does not bleed backwards into the article.
Issuers restate. Filings get amended. Wires get a number wrong and correct it. Deal Intelligence can be late, incomplete, or wrong relative to a document that appeared after we published. That is a reason to open the filing, not a reason to treat our page as the record.
How this sits next to Acquiry's advisory work
Acquiry Pty Ltd is an M&A advisory firm. It executes buy-side and sell-side mandates. Those mandates are confidential except where a party has announced them. Deal Intelligence is a publishing desk under the same brand. It is not a client communication, not a mandate teaser, and not a way to shop a deal.
- Acquiry is not engaged by the parties to a transaction it analyses unless the article says otherwise in words.
- Absence of that sentence means: no engagement on that deal, as far as this desk is concerned.
- Acquiry may have relationships, conversations, or mandates in the same sector. Sector overlap is not a source, not a special access claim, and not a reason to trust a number that is not in the ledger.
- No company pays for a Deal Intelligence report. No issuer gets a draft to approve.
Joash Boyton is the named author. The analyst profile is the biography that belongs with the byline. Do not infer holdings, votes, or economic interest from the existence of a report.
Forward-looking language
Close windows, synergy comments, product roadmaps and "could" statements about combination are either the issuer's forward-looking statements (cited) or Acquiry analysis (labelled). They are not forecasts we stand behind. Deals fail. Regulators object. Earnouts miss. The page will not always catch up the same day.
Third-party marks and other people's work
Company names, product names and logos are the property of their owners. Use on this site is for identification. It does not imply sponsorship. Secondary sources in the ledger belong to those publishers. Read them there.
Technology on the desk
Acquiry uses AI-driven systems to monitor public announcements and to help organise a large public file. That does not turn the article into a machine output you can blame on a vendor, and it does not add a source. If you cannot trace a claim to the ledger or to a labelled calculation, treat it as analysis or as an error and write to us.
Corrections and updates
Material fact changes are edited in place. The original publication date stays. The visible updated date and dateModified change. Trivial typos do not get a fanfare. If we got a disclosed figure wrong, we correct it. If the issuer restated, we follow the restatement and note that the file moved.
Write to press@acquiry.com with the URL, the sentence, and the document that contradicts it. Anonymous tips that cannot be tied to a public file will not move a number.
Limits
To the extent the law allows, Acquiry Pty Ltd, its directors, and the author are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of Deal Intelligence, including because a filing was missed, a translation was imperfect, a calculation was rounded, or you treated analysis as a recommendation. Some jurisdictions do not allow those limits. In those places, the limit is the minimum the law requires.
Governing law for the website relationship is set in the Terms of Service. This methodology page does not replace those terms. It is the method and the research disclaimer for this desk.
