M&A factoids:

• During 2014 to date, 7% of the cumulative dollar amount of consummated and proposed deals, worldwide, have been hostile deals. (This 7% portion comprises $97B of nominal deal value.)

• Since 2005, only 22% of hostile attempts to acquire US-based companies have succeeded. (I presume this calculation excludes deals by companies below a certain size threshold.)
