Out of curiosity, how does the process of publicizing acquisition prices tend to work? Is a price shared only when it's seen as a positive signal for one of the companies?
unless it meets SEC disclosure laws then a price is almost always leaked, and then often in ballpark
responsibility for leaks, almost in order, would be angel investors, VC investors, lawyers and then founders, almost always on the side of the company being purchased.
M&A execs, founders and investors sometimes leaks sales negotiations when they believe it is in their favor to do so.
