What to Know about Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Mergers and acquisition transactions have been growing rapidly in recent years. According to a recent report from Reuters, global M&A volume hit a record $5.8 trillion in 2020. Broadly defined, the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a generalized term used to describe the consolation of business through various types of commercial transactions. You will often hear words “mergers” and “acquisitions” used together, or even interchangeably. Though, these terms refer to two distinct things:
- Merger: In the corporate finance world, a merger is the combination of two or more business entities. Businesses come together to form a separate legal entity that operates under a new name.
- Acquisition: With an acquisition, one company acquires another. Most often, this means that the acquiring company is buying the other company outright—either through a stock purchase or an asset purchase.
