It is not a secret that great deal of mergers and acquisitions fail due to various reasons. The whole process is important and takes time but it is equally important to know what comes after. Success depends on how company handles many responsibilities that come with new situation. New corporate structure, reallocation of resources and becoming acquainted with new customers are just some of the things that you will need to manage. It is not unusual for a company to hire a third party to help them smooth transition.
When CEO and board of directors decided that they want to acquire or merge with particular company they will usually start with tender offer. It is permitted to buy up to 5% of outstanding shares of the company without having to file with SEC. If that number is bigger it is mandatory to file with SEC, disclosing number of shares in possession and if there is intention to acquire the company. With help from financial advisers final price for the company will be offered that can be paid in cash, stock or in both. After letter of intent is sent buying company starts with due diligence phase.
After target company has reviewed tender offer it can respond in three ways, to accept the offer, negotiate or reject the offer. After two companies have agreed on terms of the offer transaction is made. Transactions made with stock are most common because paying with stock is not taxable. When the deal is closed investors receive new stock in their portfolios.
