M&A Info - Public Company buys Private Company

I need to find a resource, preferably a free one, that has up-to-date info on private companies being acquired by publically traded ones. I know you can find this information in the DEF 14A, but haven't had much luck find a database.

Thanks!

Private Equity Mock Coffee Chat

“Julius was extremely helpful in breaking down the accounting concepts, especially allowing me the opportunity to walk through a question step by step on how the three financial statements are impacted across income, cash flow and balance sheet along with figuring out the mental math for it all. The concept for Equity Value to Enterprise value and bridging between the two were fairly straight forward. Along with the networking advice on reaching out to potential recruiters for Investment banking roles and how lateral recruitement is happening year end vs going into Q1 next year.”
