Mergers & Acquisitions

Mergers & Acquisitions, or M&A, involves the formal combination of two or more enterprises to continue business as a single legal business entity afterwards. M&A usually takes one of three forms: a statutory merger pursuant to a state’s corporate law, a purchase by one company of another company’s stock, or a purchase by one company of another company’s assets. A wide variety of structures is possible, and the structure chosen or newly developed is influenced by the parties’ business needs, the status of the businesses involved, their respective places in their markets and industries, tax, antitrust, industry-specific regulatory regimes and many other factors. Divestitures and Spin-offs by companies of portions of their businesses also fall under the M&A umbrella as M&A in reverse.
