Euro DealWire provides original daily international content reported on TheDeal.com directly to newsletter subscribers' e-mail inboxes, Mondays through Fridays. Every link to TheDeal.com's content in Euro DealWire is free. The revamped Euro DealWire began distribution in July.

Merrill Corporation, an acknowledged leading provider of virtual data rooms (VDRs) for mergers and acquisitions and other related business transactions, is the exclusive sponsor of Euro DealWire. While The Deal overseas all content and design, the two companies will market the newsletter jointly. To expand its subscriber base, Euro DealWire will be introduced to the dealmaking community across Europe. Merrill Corporation will leverage its market leadership position to support Euro DealWire's efforts to quickly build a dominant presence.

"In collaborating with Merrill Corporation on Euro DealWire, we are utilizing the best resources from each company - The Deal's editorial strength in covering transactions worldwide and Merrill's recognition as a global leader in the financial services industry. This is the first of many innovative programs we hope to do with Merrill," said Robert Clark, COO and publisher, The Deal LLC.

"Merrill Corporation has become a global leading provider of technology-based solutions for complex business communications, and we continue to expand our presence in the international marketplace," said Craig Levinsohn, executive vice president of global marketing for Merrill. "Our sponsorship of Euro DealWire represents our ongoing commitment to provide leading-edge technology and timely resources to our clients."
