Text a Mergers and Takeovers
In the modern business world, the ownership of companies often changes. This can happen in different ways:
∙ a merger: this is when two companies join together to form a new one (e.g. Exxon and Mobil, America Online and Time Warner).
∙ a takeover or acquisition: this is when one company buys another one (e.g.Vodafone and Mannesmann, Daimler-Benz and Chrysler).This can happen in two ways. Firstly, a company can offer to buy all the shareholders' shares at a certain price (higher than the market price) during a limited period of time. This is called a takeover bid. Secondly, a company can buy as many shares as possible on the stock market, hoping to gain a majority. This is called a raid.
Investment banks have mergers and acquisitions (M&A)departments that advise companies involved in mergers and takeovers.Companies can also work together without a change of ownership. For example, when two or more companies decide to work together for a specific project or product, this is called a joint venture. An example is Sony Ericsson, which makes mobile phones.
There are two types of takeover bid. If a company's board of directors agrees to a takeover, it is a friendly bid (and if the shareholders agree to sell, it becomes a friendly takeover). If the company does not want to be taken over, it is a hostile bid (and if successful, a hostile takeover). Companies have various ways of defending themselves against a hostile bid. They can try ro find a white knight - another company that they would prefer to be bought by. Or they can use the poison pill defence ("eat me and you'll die!') which involves issuing new shares or a big discount.
