The Difference Between Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a term used to describe the combination and consolidation of assets or companies through various types of financial transactions, including acquisitions, management acquisitions, consolidations, tender offers, mergers, or purchase of assets. The term M&A also refers to financial institutions desks that deal with this type of activity.
An acquisition is when one company takes over another entity and establishes itself as the new owner. This affects the stocks of the companies since the targeted company technically ceases to exist at this point and their stocks can no longer be traded, while the buyer absorbs the company and stocks continue to be traded.
A merger varies slightly since it describes two entities that are about the same size coming together to join forces and form a single new entity. This is known as a “merger of equals”. In regards to the stock market, both companies stocks will cease to exist, and the new company formed will have its own stock issued in their place.
It’s a roll of the dice if mergers or acquisitions will greatly benefit the newly formed companies or tank their reputations miserably. Our team can assist you in your decision of merging or acquiring a new company as yours and let you know of all the legalities of each decision.
