Merger

A merger means two or more companies combine into one.

What is a merger?

A merger means that two or more limited companies combine into one. One company takes over the other's assets and liabilities, and the transferring company is dissolved.

 

Ownership in a merger

In a merger, shareholders in the transferring company may receive shares in the acquiring company as merger consideration. This affects the cap table and requires careful handling of both companies' share ledgers.
