This book sets out to prepare directors to manage their M&A projects -- from strategy discussions and the preparation phase, through pre-funding negotiations, appointing professional advisers, the mechanics of M&As, negotiations, and the conclusion of contracts. Along the way, particular emphasis is placed on the legal, taxation, and financial implications. Written by leading experts in the field, Mergers and Acquisitions provides a detailed explanation of the options for those companies considering merging with or acquiring another business, and the processes involved.
