MORE ABOUT
Takeovers and mergers
A takeover is when a company offers to buy all or most of the shares of another company. The company being bought may be bigger or smaller than the company offering to buy it, and the owners of both companies may or may not agree about the conditions of the sale. If they do agree, the takeover is friendly. If not, it becomes a hostile takeover.
A merger involves two companies of a similar size agreeing to join together and become a single company. This can involve a takeover in which the one company buys the other's shares and pays for these with some of its own shares, or the owners of both companies can agree to exchange their shares for shares in a new company.
