Why do companies pursue M&A?

Companies pursue M&A to achieve growth, increase market share, and gain a competitive edge. Other key reasons include expanding into new markets, leveraging economies of scale, diversifying product offerings, and acquiring valuable technology or talent.

Due diligence is a comprehensive investigation into a target company's finances, legal standing, operations, and assets. This crucial step is performed by the acquiring company to verify all disclosed information and uncover any potential risks or liabilities before finalizing a deal.

A merger agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines all the terms and conditions of the M&A deal. It specifies how the companies will combine, details the valuation and payment structure, and includes representations, warranties, and closing conditions to protect both parties.

What are some common reasons for M&A failure?

M&A deals can fail due to poor strategic planning, overvalue the target company, inadequate due diligence, and a lack of post-merger integration planning. Other common factors include a mismatch in corporate culture and poor communication between management and employees.
