Mergers and Acquisitions from A and Z by Sherman The author explains the distinction between a merger combination and the purchasing of assets in an acquisition by the buyer. Mergers involve considerable restructuring and revaluations as a condition precedent to success. Classic merger difficulties involve indecision, tying in loose ends and optimal timing. Potential sellers seek to build value ; wherein, buyers seek to acquire and nurture value. Acquisitions involve conceptual formulation, action planning, overcoming hurdles and offering memoranda. Due diligence involves an intensive study of the factors driving the deal. These factors involve title, staffing issues, environmental liability, ongoing litigation and "dressing up the financial statements" in anticipation of the sale. Buyer errors involve poor communications, lack of planning, inadequate timing and review of the corporate records of the seller. The acquisition is well worth the price charged for the significant value of the information contained. | ||
