(By Anthony Miller – Monday 19th October 2009 8:00am). A bumper month for European tech M&A in September (see Regent reports strong month for M and A) was not enough to salvage the quarter, according to data just released by Regent Partners.The total number of European tech M&A transactions in Q309 fell 12% yoy to 574, mainly due to a very slow August. But the September recovery pushed aggregate transaction value for the quarter to nearly $22b, more than double Q209. Valuations also recovered sharply, with Q3 median P/E up to 13.2x and median PSR up to 1.07x.
