M & As - Valuations - Costs

CIMA's "Financial Management" magazine wrote about the biggest M & A deals over the decade covering the time between 2002 - 2012 with an interesting point: "Costs of M & As exceed their valuations."

What method of valuation is used? NPV as the method used in common comes to mind; Next thing, which comes is the %  used for present value.
