M&A (or MnA)

What Are Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)?
Mergers and Acquisitions, often abbreviated as M&A, refer to the process by which two companies merge or one company acquires another.

• A merger occurs when two businesses combine to form a single, new company.

• An acquisition occurs when one company acquires another and becomes the new owner.

M&A deals are typically undertaken to accelerate growth, acquire new customers or technologies, reduce costs, or maintain competitiveness.

Think of it like two teams joining forces — or one strong team bringing another one on board — to win bigger and better together.
