Overview: By most reports, merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is picking up again in the U.S. However, whether M&A activity is slow or fast-paced, the choice of deal structure is always of critical concern to the relevant constituencies - - buyer, seller, shareholders, and lenders. But, a question which arises is that should the deal be an asset sale, a stock sale, or a merger? The choice of deal structure usually affects buyer and seller differently, so deal structure negotiations are best handled at the earliest stages. In the ?typical? middle-market M&A deal, there are three main factors driving the choice of deal structure: (1) allocation of liabilities, (2) consents, and (3) tax considerations. All these three have been discussed in detail. To know more, refer to the article.
