Mergers and acquisition (M&A)

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are the most common practice for assuring growth of companies in Slovenia and abroad.

Merger can be executed as absorption or fusion. Characteristic for absorption is the transfer of the entire company or companies to acquiring company, while characteristic for fusion is the transfer of entire company to a newly formed company. Purpose of mergers is achieving the synergy effects and multiplicative higher productivity of merged company.

We talk about company acquisitions when one company (acquiror) gains control over the target company with buying their shares. Acquisitions can be friendly or hostile. Friendly acquisition happens when management of target company agrees with the acquisition and hostile one when management opposes the acquisition.
