Mergers and Acquisitions .
Merger and Acquisitions - When a company takes over another one and clearly becomes the new owner, the purchase is called an acquisition. From a legal point of view, the target company ceases to exist and the stock of the buyer continues to be traded. A merger happens when two firms, often about the same size, agree to go forward as a new single company rather than remain separately owned and operated. This kind of action is more precisely referred to as a "merger of equals." Both companies' stocks are surrendered and new company stock is issued in its place. M&A may be of various types:

1.
A vertical M&A integrates different types of businesses that may share a supplier-customer relationship
2.
A horizontal M&A brings together related businesses

3.

An extensional M&A joins two similar businesses to enter a new market
4.
A hostile takeover occurs when a stronger business absorbs another against its will
