Method: 53 unique completed buyer→target deals (67 source rows collapsed on buyer, target and completion date), researched from public web pages across 9 independent hosts, window 2021-09-05 to 2026-09-05; both parties Nasdaq-listed at announcement per the linked evidence. Closure is mostly evidenced by Nasdaq Trader corporate-action notices; announcement dates and values are shown only where resolved, and some value fields state per-share consideration rather than total transaction size, so deals are not ranked by value.
