Tips on how to structure " walk me through a recent deal you've been following" answer?

3. Open the doors to more unnecessary technicals with this answer
Any help appreciated, thanks.

x bought y for z amount (using x% cash and x% debt etc)
talk about the major players (just introduce them)
2-3 points on strategic rationale
why you think its accretive, and if being accretive is even helpful here
