I am working on a business plan.  I expect my company will grow
through various stages of revenue going forward.  It is my opinion
that as my company grows I will become a candidate for acquisition by
larger and larger companies.  I would like to be able to provide
examples of this happening to validate the opinion.  So what I am
looking for is a list of examples of acquisitions, that would include
the date of acquisition, the acquiring company, the target company,
the acquisition price, the revenues of the target company for the year
prior to the acquisition, and the EBIDTA of the target company for the
year prior to acquisition.  The examples target companies should come
from visualization/ simulation sector (tool companies that provide
visualization/simulation hardware, software, services to the defense &
government sector).  I would like examples for 3 revenue categories: 
when the target company revenues are below $15M, $15M ? $30M, and $30M
- $75M.  These are rough boundaries.

Compensation.  One set of examples for the defense & government
sector, 1 example in each of 3 revenue categories, $150.  Each
additional example $10, with a max of 3 examples in each of 3
categories, for a total in the defense & government sector of $210
max.  I will add compensation for the additional examples as ?tips?.

I am posting the exact same question with a different industry sector,
entertainment technology for a separate question/answer, same terms,
under ?Examples of Acquisitions in Entertainment Technology?.

If this weren't a $150 question, I would venture to say that it is
putting the cart before the horse.

Anyway, the comment will pull your question back up to where it is
likely to be seen again.
