Mergers and Acquisitions

First of all a definition: A lateral merger/takeover is where a business merges with a business who makes similar goods to it but who are not in competition with each other.

Now a real world example of that would be the 2008 takeover bid from Mars to buy Wrigleys. Mars produces Chocolate bars, whereas Wrigleys produce chewing gum. These goods are both confectionary good, i.e. very similar, but they dont compete with each other directly. This would be an example of a lateral merger.

In early 2000, executives from America Online (AOL) and Time Warner shocked the business world when they announced an all-stock $164 billion merger, the largest media deal in history. The new company would be named AOL Time Warner.

A cross-border merger is a transaction in which the assets and operation of two firms belonging to or registered in two different countries are combined to establish a new legal entity. In a cross-border acquisition, the control of assets and operations is transferred from a local to a foreign company, with the former becoming an affiliate of the latter.

Since 1947, several notable mergers and acquisitions have occurred in Pakistan's banking sector, including the merger of United Bank Limited with Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in the late 1990s, and the acquisition of Habib Bank Limited by the State Bank of Pakistan in 2004. Other significant consolidations include the merger of Bank Islami Pakistan Limited with Pak Libya Holding Company in 2005 and the acquisition of MCB Bank Limited by the Nishat Group in 2008. Additionally, in 2015, the merger of Sindh Bank and the National Bank of Pakistan was another key development. These transactions reflect the ongoing consolidation trend in the banking industry.

With an acquisition or merger, the details connected with such things as taxes, corporate cultures, distribution of responsibilities, and logistics, among others, can be exceedingly complex.

Privatization is the incidence or process of transferring ownership of business from the public sector to the private sector. An example of this could be when a private equity firm conducts a leveraged buyout (LBO) to turn a publicly traded company private.

A reverse merger is the acquisition of a public company by a private company to bypass the lengthy and complex process of going public. Essentially, a public shell will acquire a private operating company and thus take the private company public.

In contrast to competitive markets monopolies fail to allocate the resources efficiently. Policy makers in the government thus can respond to the problem on monopoly in many ways.Like for the regulation of mergers the government gets the power from antitrust laws. The antitrust laws are a collection of statutes aimed at curbing monopoly power.American antitrust laws are state and federal laws created to prevent monopolies. Antitrust laws apply to both businesses and individuals. The philosophy behind the laws is that trusts and monopolies can stagnate markets and prevent others from engaging in healthy market competition.

Basically the same as acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships: failure to adequately and formally develop the relationship, inadequate or misaligned valuations, and culture clashes. Definitely worth the time & money to hire a merger consultant familiar with your industry. Your accountant can probably help you find one.

Due Diligence is the process by which an investor investigates a purchase (of a company's stock, bond or the company itself) prior to actually proceeding with the purchase. There is no standard method.

But, commonly, you check the company history, management, their products/services, market conditions, competitive landscape and (of course) the price/valuations vs. the peers.

The announcement of a merger and acquisition is a public relations affair, while the fairness opinion is an analysis of the actual deal and seeing if it is fair or not. The announcement of the deal could always predicate the actual verification of the deal itself.

First what do you mean by outstanding? If you are looking for your cost basis. You need to look at the date of death for when you received the inheritance. The price of the stock on that date is your beginning cost basis. You may then need to use some worksheet to calculate basis given the different corporate events .

Main changes that arise in the financial statements upon acquisition are:

* Profit & loss statement: adding the main operating line items of the target to the acquirer (e.g. revenue, EBITDA). Adding any synergies such as revenue increases, cost savings, cost increases e.g. restructuring costs. Adding increased financing costs arising for example through an increase in debt taken on fund the acquisition; * Balance sheet: adding the main line items of the target to the acquirer. Adjusting for finance taken on to fund the acquisition e.g. an increase in debt. Adding "goodwill" that arises on acquisition. Goodwill is a type of intangible asset. It is a non cash accounting entry on the balance sheet. It represents the surplus of the price paid by the acquirer over the target's net assets. Net assets equals the difference between total assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. It is also known as shareholders' funds or shareholders' equity. * Cash flow: adding the cash impact of the adjustments above.

Timely and accurate.

Yes they can; however, it will be costly because the other company will do its best to takeover the other company. Also, if the CEO rejects one merger, then there is almost a guarantee that other companies will try to merge with that one particular company. Hope this helps
