The SRS Acquiom Earnouts & Claims Study examines post-closing activities in private-target acquisitions, revealing unique insights into indemnification claims, claim resolution, earnout performance, and expense fund utilization. The study, based on proprietary data from over 1,174 deals valued over $1T, provides visibility into events that are typically hidden from public sources.

The dataset, which includes deals closed from 2009 to mid-2026, offers practical benchmarking and analysis results, primarily from acquisitions completed within the last three years. Kip, a senior director at SRS Acquiom, leads the thought leadership practice and has authored numerous articles and studies, sharing resourceful content with the market.

Ruth, another director at SRS Acquiom, also contributes to thought leadership and facilitates presentations on M&A documents. Both Kip and Ruth have extensive backgrounds in M&A transactions, with Kip previously working as an attorney in a Denver-based boutique law firm and Ruth as an in-house counsel at a multinational public company.
