In the context of the constantly fluctuating investment environment and the business strategy of the enterprise is constantly adjusted to adapt to reality, terminating business activities - although not a desirable option - can still become a necessary decision for investors.

The debt confirmation letter serves as a protection mechanism for the buyer, helping to ensure that the target company does not leave behind unexpected financial liabilities after the transaction is completed.

As the global financial services industry undergoes drastic transformations, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals are becoming increasingly complex, with innovative transaction structures to optimize value for stakeholders.

The deal between Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) and Global Payments Inc. is a good example of cross-trading, with a total transaction value of more than $37 billion . This transaction not only reshapes the business portfolios of the two giants in the payment processing industry, but also clearly illustrates the complexity and sophistication of the cross-transaction structure in M&A.
