Fantasy M&A
I figured it could be interesting, given the broad range of industry perspectives on the forum, to create a thread of deals that we would like to see happen or think would be a good strategic fit.
For starters:
**Industry Expertise: **Real Estate
**Transaction: **Boston Properties acquiring SL Green
Rationale: Greatly expands Boston Properties' NYC office portfolio, creating a best in breed office REIT. Likely FFO multiple expansion owning to scale. Removes the overpaid SL Green management team which has suffered from poor capital allocation and untimely equity issuances.
**Why It Won't Happen: **The transaction would represent the largest merger in REIT history. Elevated change of control costs at SL Green.
Note: I think there are other smaller deals in the space that make sense, but I went with big names to start out.
Warner Bros. buys Brazzers and starts making porno films with $5 million+ budgets.
A man can dream right?
Lame. Think bigger.
Disney-Brazzers.
The paragon of family-friendly entertainment buying something that represents the exact opposite? While this is a fantasy M&A thread, I find Disney buying Brazzers almost too outlandish. Warner Bros has deep enough pockets.

Pepsi-Coke for world domination.
We also should have considered annexing the UK after Brexit.
