Ownership and acquisition activityAbout this listWhat changed hands, what probably did, and what moved without a known cause, on the public record of privately held employers.Four classes that are never conflated, and on every row: what changed, the buyer if one is known, whether the line is a fact or an inference, the rule and its measured precision when it is inferred, the source, and when it was last verified.
18,153 rows of activity across the first three classes; 3,532 unresolved departures are listed only when asked for. 1,300 rows name a buyer. The full event tape, every source and every event type, is at Event tape.
Public transaction evidence identifies the ownership transaction, and usually the buyer. The source URL is on the row.
