How to read it

Every deal on the list pays cash. The checklist's Consideration line says which kind:

Cash
Cash only.
Cash + CVR
Cash plus a contingent value right.
Cash + ticking fee
Cash plus an amount that grows the longer the deal takes to close.
Cash plus spin-off
Cash from the buyer, plus shares of a spun-off company handed to holders as part of the deal.

The offer and the spread count the base cash price only.
