of eighteen M&A transactions, only two were disclosed for a total of
$261M compared to the second quarter with a total of 9 deals of which
five were disclosed for $2.2B. Notable transactions for the sector

care IT funding actually dipped in Q3 even though the transactions
numbers remained similar to Q2, but the number of M&A deals almost
doubled even though most of the amounts were undisclosed."
