A merger and acquisition agreement also called an M&A or merger, is a type of legal contract that outlines how two businesses will handle the consolidation of companies through financial transactions and more. When this happens through a merger, the agreement will put forth how two companies will become one new entity. With an acquisition, the selling of one company to the other allows it to be fully absorbed into the purchasing entity.
A merger and acquisition agreement also deal with two major elements: the deal structure (asset purchases, stock purchases) and the deal currency (stocks, debts, cash, and assets). A M&A gives a solid overview of covenants, conditions, tax implications, and termination provisions.
