Mergers and acquisitions advisory

Q: What is a merger by absorption?

In a merger by absorption, the absorbed companies are integrated into another, already-existing company. The latter acquires, as a result of the transaction, the assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies. The partners of the extinguished companies will hold an equity share along with the partners of the company resulting from the merger, with a number of shares proportional to the number of shares they held in the extinguished company, and as a result, the share capital of the absorbing company will increase by the proportional amount.

Acquisitions and mergers (M&A)

Company mergers and acquisitions, commonly known by the acronym M&A, are transactions involving the ownership of assets, usually companies.

Company acquisitions

An equity investment or company acquisition takes place when one company purchases part of another company’s share capital with the intention of controlling it in whole or in part.
The result is that one company takes control of another by way of a total or partial purchase of its shares or assets. It is therefore important to work with sector professionals who can guide you throughout the process with mergers and acquisitions advisory.

Company mergers

In a business merger, two or more companies combine into one, inevitably resulting in the dissolution of all or some of them.

At the end of the process, their shareholders and assets are integrated into one of the existing companies or into a newly created company.
