Mergers
The amalgamation of equities of at least two legally independent stock companies in such a way that at least one of the companies involved becomes extinct is called Merger.
If you are planning a Merger, in particular the relevant Conversion Law and national and European antitrust law issues are to be considered.
M & A Strategie GmbH supports you in achieving a successful Merger, from conception and design to identification of partners and implementation of this form of co-operation. The individual stages of consultancy are not outright identical to those followed with Strategic Alliances or Joint Ventures. A Merger may result from a foregoing co-operation or may present itself as an alternative to corporate transactions such as company acquisitions or participatory acquisitions.
Therefore the partners involved in a merger are often already known before you consider consultancy; and as a consequence the determination of Merger candidates (Phase 2) will not take place, unless doubts arise in the course of the M & A procedure if the right partner has been chosen. If you have concluded a consultancy mandate with M & A Strategie GmbH, we will lead you through the following individual stages:
