Mergers and acquisitions
In business or economics a merger is a combination of two companies into one larger company. Such actions are commonly voluntary and involve stock swap or cash payment to the target. Stock swap is often used as it allows the shareholders of the two companies to share the risk involved in the deal. A merger can resemble a takeover but result in a new company name (often combining the names of the original companies) and in new branding; in some cases, terming the combination a "merger" rather than an acquisition is done purely for political or marketing reasons.
Buying / selling of controlling interest of the company
From buyer's point of view, acquisition of the company can be viewed as a tool for achieving fast expansion in new markets / industries, getting control over rare resources and as a result increased level of capitalization.
From seller's point of view, selling interest in the company is a tool for getting additional profit, divesting non-core business and forming strategic partnership for development of business.
LBO deals
Leveraged buyout (LBO) is the acquisition of a company using a significant amount of borrowed money (bonds or loans). Often, the assets of the company being acquired are used as additional collateral for the loans. Leveraged buyouts allow companies to make large acquisitions without committing a lot of capital.
MBO deals
A management buyout (MBO) is a form of acquisition where a company's existing managers acquire a large part or all of the company. Management buyouts are similar in all major legal aspects to any other acquisition of a company. The particular nature of the MBO lies in the position of the buyers as managers of the company.
Spin-off
Spin-off is a distribution of stock of subsidiary company by parent company to its shareholders.
