Overview: Although a merger involves a combination of two or more entities, they are rarely equal participants. Sometimes a merger is really an acquisition financed by common stock. Mergers are typically more expensive than acquisitions, with the parties incurring higher legal costs. In a stock acquisition, the acquirer purchases all or substantially all of the common stock of the Target Company for a specified price. The buyer replaces the selling stockholders as the owner of the Target Company. This article discusses difference between mergers and acquisitions.
