Business Notes: Mergers & Takeovers

Standard
Definitions:

What is a merger? It is where two or more firms agree to come together under one board of directors. This is mutually agreed/ voluntary - both companies identities remain.

What is a takeover (or acquisition)? This is where one firm buys a majority shareholding in another firm and therefore assumes full management control. - The majority shareholder "swallows up" the other company. These takeovers can either be friendly, usually through an agreement or hostile.
