1. Amerger
2. Bnew
3. Ccease
4. Dexist
5. Enew
5One advantage of using merger to acquire firm is it’s [blank_start]legally simple[blank_end] & does not [blank_start]cost[blank_end] as much as other forms of acquisition. This is because firms [blank_start]agree[blank_end] to [blank_start]combine[blank_end] their entire [blank_start]operations[blank_end]
1. Alegally simple
2. Bcost
3. Cagree
4. Dcombine

Very often this starts as [blank_start]private[blank_end] approach to buy [blank_start]shares[blank_end] but generally ends up being [blank_start]tender[blank_end] offer ([blank_start]public[blank_end] offer to buy [blank_start]shares[blank_end] of target firm)

1. Ahostile takeovers
2. Bmanagement
3. Ctarget
4. Dfriendly

1. Ashareholder meetings
2. Bvotes
10Acquisition of assets- Acquirer buys all of [blank_start]firm’s assets[blank_end]
1. Afirm’s assets

11One classification of acquisition is [blank_start]horizontal acquisition[blank_end]. This is acquisition of firm in [blank_start]same industry[blank_end]. [blank_start]Bidder[blank_end] & [blank_start]target[blank_end] firms compete with each other in their [blank_start]product markets[blank_end] i.e. one pharmaceutical company takes over another
1. Ahorizontal acquisition

2. Bsame industry
3. Cstages
4. Dproduction process

1. Asafeguarding
2. Bsupply
3. Csales
4. Deconomies of scale
5. Eeconomies
6. Fcomplementary resources
15Third classification of acquisition is [blank_start]conglomerate acquisition[blank_end]. This is acquisition of firm that has [blank_start]no relation[blank_end] ([blank_start]bidder[blank_end] & [blank_start]target[blank_end] firm are in [blank_start]unrelated[blank_end] lines of business) i.e. software company takes over supermarket
1. Aconglomerate acquisition
2. Bno relation
3. Cbidder
4. Dtarget

2. Bmarketing
3. Cmergers
4. Dacquisitions
5. Eseparate firms
6. Fstrategic

3. Cdebt capacity
4. Dfunds
5. Evalue
6. Fassets
21In friendly takeover, [blank_start]management[blank_end] of two firms [blank_start]agree[blank_end] about takeover. Acquirer decides on [blank_start]target[blank_end] firm. Then, it selects [blank_start]tactic[blank_end] to carry out acquisition. After that, it decides on [blank_start]highest price[blank_end] it’s willing to pay. Then, it sets an initial [blank_start]bid price[blank_end] & makes contact with [blank_start]target[blank_end] firm. After that, many [blank_start]meetings[blank_end] & [blank_start]negotiations[blank_end] occur. Then, [blank_start]target[blank_end] firm’s board approves acquisition. Finally, an affirmative [blank_start]vote[blank_end] by [blank_start]target[blank_end] firm’s shareholders is needed

1. Astreet sweep
2. BBidding
3. Copen market

1. Agolden parachutes
2. Bcompensation
3. Ctop management

It involves only [blank_start]fraction[blank_end] of hostile management board getting [blank_start]replaced[blank_end] at a time. This is known as [blank_start]staggered board[blank_end] ([blank_start]classified board[blank_end]). Another device is [blank_start]supermajority provision[blank_end].

1. Abonuses
2. Bacquiring
3. Cpay
4. Dprestige
5. Esize

7. Gincrease
37Managers of target firm employ [blank_start]defensive[blank_end] tactics even if takeover is [blank_start]beneficial[blank_end] to shareholders in order to [blank_start]safeguard[blank_end] their jobs. Managers that cannot avoid takeover may [blank_start]bargain[blank_end] with [blank_start]bidder[blank_end] taking good deal for themselves at expense of their [blank_start]shareholders[blank_end]
1. Adefensive
2. Bbeneficial
3. Csafeguard
4. Dbargain
5. Ebidder

38Accounting treatment of mergers & acquisitions should recognise [blank_start]fair value[blank_end] of all assets & liabilities on [blank_start]acquisition[blank_end] date. [blank_start]IFRS 3 (Business Combinations)[blank_end], states that it should be presented in such way as to allow [blank_start]shareholders[blank_end] to understand [blank_start]true value[blank_end] of mergers & acquisitions
1. Afair value
2. Bacquisition
3. CIFRS 3 (Business Combinations)
4. Dshareholders
5. Etrue value
39Two things that create value in leverage buyouts are extra [blank_start]debt[blank_end] which provides [blank_start]tax deduction[blank_end]. Leverage buyouts may simply increase [blank_start]debt[blank_end] level to its optimum. Also, there is increased [blank_start]efficiency[blank_end]. They own firm so interested to [blank_start]work harder[blank_end] & because high interest payments need to be made, they have to increase [blank_start]efficiency[blank_end]
1. Adebt
2. Btax deduction
3. Cefficiency
4. Ddebt
5. Ework harder
6. Fefficiency
40Divestitures- [blank_start]Sale[blank_end] of [blank_start]assets[blank_end], [blank_start]operations[blank_end], [blank_start]divisions[blank_end] &/or [blank_start]segments[blank_end] of business to [blank_start]third party[blank_end]. Reasons for divestiture are required to meet [blank_start]monopolies[blank_end] or [blank_start]competition[blank_end] regulations, defence against [blank_start]hostile takeovers[blank_end], provides [blank_start]cash[blank_end] to poor liquidity firms, [blank_start]sell-offs[blank_end] streamline firm making it easier to value & firms may simply want to sell [blank_start]unprofitable divisions[blank_end]

This is distribution of [blank_start]shares[blank_end] in subsidiary to [blank_start]existing[blank_end] parent company [blank_start]shareholders[blank_end]. Reasons for [blank_start]spin-off[blank_end] are publicly traded division increases [blank_start]transparency[blank_end] in market making it easier to [blank_start]value[blank_end] company & spin-off, equity acts as an incentive for [blank_start]managers[blank_end] to work harder, [blank_start]tax[blank_end] consequences of [blank_start]spin-off[blank_end] are generally better than from sale because parent receives no [blank_start]cash[blank_end] from the spin-off

4. Dshareholders
5. Espin-off
6. Ftransparency

1. Acarve-out
2. Bspin-offs
3. Cshares
4. Dpublic
5. EIPO

1. Asplit-up
2. Bsplitting
3. Ctwo
