TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

There are several relationships that may grow up between business in Great Britain and the United States of America. They are as follows:

• takeovers

• mergers

• amalgamation

• integration

• combination

• absorption etc.

No agreement has been reached among financial experts as to the precise difference in meaning between he terms. The most popular are takeovers and mergers.

In a takeover one company buys a controlling interest in another company by acquiring at least 51% of its shares. The company does this by making a direct approach to the company’s shareholders for their shares. The company intending to take over will not necessarily consult the company it is taking over.

The Stock Exchange Council in London has drawn up a code of practice to regulate takeovers to prevent some abuses. One such abuse is secret dealing when a company wishes to take over secretely and buys its shares secretely. Another abuse is insider dealing thanks to information used for personal profit.

With a merger, two or more companies involved will consult with each other previously. They try to make a certain agreement on their merger to the satisfaction of both companies.
