Covered Transactions from the Support Activities for Transportation Subsector
2. Covered Transactions by Country: 2007-2009
The first table that follows (C-10) breaks down the notices of covered transactions from
2007 through 2009 by country and year. 2 There is no clear trend in the breakdown of
transactions by year. Acquisitions by investors from the United Kingdom accounted for
27 percent of notices for the three-year period (97 notices) and represented the largest
number of notices each year. Canada, France, Israel, and Australia together accounted
for an additional 30 percent of the total notices over the period (106 notices) and were
among the leading countries each year (with the exception of Australia, which was a
leading country from 2007-2008, but had only one transaction in 2009).
The second table that follows (C-11) shows that there is no clear tendency of
companies in any one country to prefer transactions in a specific industry sector.
Acquisitions by investors from countries that accounted for multiple notices typically also
involved multiple sectors.
2 The figures in this table reflect the number of notices filed with CFIUS and are not adjusted to account
for the fact that some transactions were the subject of more than one notice, where the original notice
was withdrawn and then re-filed, as discussed in Section I.D of this report.
