This manual is designed as a resource for people involved in all
facets of mergers or acquisitions. The steps involved in such
transactions are thoroughly explained. It is our goal that, after
having gone through this manual, you'll know how to handle each
step in the merger and acquisition process. Mergers and
acquisitions (M&As) have played a major role in expansion and
consolidation of business organizations across the globe. Recently,
M&As have become important in influencing market forces. This
is one reason for dramatic increase in the number of mergers over
the last decade. M&A transactions are worth a considerable
amount in terms of dollars as well as in terms of number of
transactions. In 1998, there were more than $1 trillion in mergers
and acquisitions in the United States alone, more than 7,500
transactions. After reading this manual, all stakeholders should
have adequate information on how to handle the merger or
acquisition transaction. Mergers and acquisitions are not the same
thing, and it is important to understand the difference. One
difference is speed. If investors need the transaction to be
completed in a short amount of time, then acquisition will likely
be the most appropriate. That is assuming that the assets of the
acquired company are a strategic fit to the new owner's existing
company. Some business investors think that internal development is
a good strategy. One reason why investors prefer mergers or
acquisitions to creating a company from scratch is that these are
faster ways of entering the market or expanding into new markets.
In some cases, a market opportunity may have passed if a company
waits to ramp up its own internal operation to meet the demand. All
regulatory requirements of a merger or acquisition are listed in
this manual. When a merger involves millions of dollars, companies
must adhere to federal antitrust statutes, state laws and
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. There are
additional requirements for non-public transactions.
