IntraLinks Hosts 206 Deals Online in Q1 2005


NEW YORK, NY
BUSINESS WIRE
April 27, 2005

IntraLinks, Inc., a leading provider of virtual data rooms to the M&A industry, today announced that 206 M&A deals were hosted on its service in the first quarter of 2005, a 59.7% increase over the fourth quarter of 2004. The company also noted a surge in purchases of its DVD archive feature, which provides sell-side dealmakers with a record of all virtual data room documents as well as which parties accessed them.

"Much of the M&A community is recognizing that virtual data rooms are a smart way to meet a number the compliance requirements related to Sarbanes-Oxley while accelerating the due diligence process," said Matthew Porzio, Vice President at IntraLinks.

IntraLinks has also observed that its service is being tapped for transactions that the market previously viewed as either too small or too large to warrant the use of virtual data rooms. "Given the increasing importance of accountability in corporate transactions, clients doing deals of any size are recognizing the value of having a click-by-click record of their deal," added Mr. Porzio.
