Significant increase in M&A deal activity was observed in all regions
over the last 12 months. Asia Pacific led the way with a 59 percent increase
in Q2 2010 compared to Q2 2009, followed by Europe/Middle East/Africa (53
percent), North America (32 percent) and Latin America (19 percent).

Europe/Middle East/Africa M&A deal activity increased by 18 percent
compared to Q1 2010. There was also positive news in Asia Pacific, North
America
and Latin America, with increases in deal activity of nine percent,
eight percent and four percent respectively compared to Q1 2010.

The overall positive trends are consistent with the following factors in
the marketplace:

    - Increased access to capital and favorable interest rates
    - Returning confidence and willingness to use increasing cash positions
    - Strong earnings and growth for many companies despite the wider
      economic issues

IntraLinks has been a leading global provider of M&A virtual data rooms
(www.intralinks.com/customized-solutions/business-needs/mergers-acquis
itions) for more than 10 years. Our involvement in a significant percentage
of M&A deals in the early stages of each transaction affords us uncommon
perspective and insight on global deal flows. Issued quarterly, the
IntraLinks Deal Flow Indicator is calculated using the total volume of
IntraLinks virtual data rooms that were proposed for use by deal teams
initiating projects during the previous quarter. The totals are then analyzed
regionally and compared to previous time periods. This report is based on
observations and subjective interpretations of M&A deal activity and is not
intended to be an indicator of IntraLinks business performance or operating
results for any prior or future period.
