BRAZIL . 2022
The M&A Handbook 2022 is a result of local research and market analysis by TTR’s
Research and Business Intelligence team. Our team follows the transactional markets
analysed in this Handbook at a local level, in local language, and on a daily basis
researching transactional and financial data by contacting market players, collecting
their input and crosschecking and analysing the data throughout the year.
For full access to all of the transactional data on Brazil, Latin America, and the Iberian
market (spanning Mergers and Acquisitions, Equity Capital Markets, Acquisition Finance
and Project Finance) visit TTR at www.TTRecord.com.
Move beyond the status quo.
iDeals is delighted to present the 2022 Handbook for the Brazilian M&A, Private Equity,
and Venture Capital market, published in association with Transactional Track Record.
In spite of the challenges unveiled by both political and fiscal uncertainty, Brazil
continued to prosper throughout 2021, with an extremely competitive landscape.
By the end of 2021, in comparison to the previous year, we had already observed a
105% growth in deal size. Private equity took a bigger slice of the pie, and transactions
involving bidders from outside the region reached new highs in value.
We expect to see these healthy levels of activity persist in 2022, with our corporate
clients refocusing their strategy to develop new ecosystems, particularly in terms of
digital transformation.
This is a unique moment in history, and technology paves the way to face the
intensification of M&A, Venture Capital, and Private Equity activity. It comes as no
surprise that 2021 was an outstanding year for iDeals. We established ourselves as the
fastest-growing Virtual Data Room around the globe, both by the number of clients and
by revenue.
The market is changing rapidly, and to take an active role in this new industry expansion
phase, we have been developing cutting-edge technology to offer the most efficient and
reliable solutions to market leaders. With this in mind, we present this report to provide
you with the full scale of Brazil’s investment activity in 2021.

This report includes consolidated data about the Private Equity sector. To read the full details of Brazil's
investment activity, including M&A and Venture Capital, please access the complete report:
2022 Handbook for the Brazilian M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital.
DEFINITIONS
CORPORATE / STRATEGIC M&A
A transaction in which for strategic reasons a corporate entity acquires a controlling or minority position in another
company or in which two companies combine their shares in a merger. In the case of a company partnering with a Private
Equity / Venture Capital firm to execute an acquisition, the transaction is classified as both Corporate / Strategic M&A
and Private Equity / Venture Capital. However, if the acquiring company is already controlled by a Private Equity firm, the
transaction is classified only as Private Equity. If the company is backed (not controlled) by a Private Equity or Venture
Capital firm, then the transaction is classified only as Corporate / Strategic M&A.
PRIVATE EQUITY
All investments or divestments carried out by Private Equity firms and/or funds under management are registered as
Private Equity deals. When the purchase or sale of a specific target company is carried out through one of the Private Equity
firms’/funds’ subsidiaries, the deal will only be considered a Private Equity deal if the subsidiary is controlled by the referred
to Private Equity/fund. In the case of a corporate entity acquiring a PE portfolio company (Trade Sale), TTR classifies the
transaction as “Corporate/Strategic M&A - Control Acquisition” and “Exit Private Equity - Trade Sale”.
VENTURE CAPITAL
Investments carried out by private funds which concentrate their activity on companies in a startup phase, including Angel/
Seed Capital, Early Stage and Expansion.
DOMESTIC TRANSACTIONS
A transaction in which the buyer, seller and target, and their respective ultimate owners, are from the same country.
CROSS-BORDER TRANSACTIONS
A transaction in which the buyer, seller and target, and their respective ultimate owners, are from two or more countries.
