GLG Topic: Mergers & Acquisitions
An acquisition is when one company takes over another and clearly established itself as the new owner. A merger happens when two firms, often of about the same size, agree to go forward as a single new company rather than remain separately owned and operated. Both companies' stocks are surrendered and new company stock is issued in its place.
