Mergers & Acquisitions

Merger
is an operation whereby one or more corporations are absorbed by another, which succeeds to all their rights and obligations.
Consolidation

The divided corporation is extinguished if all its assets and liabilities are transferred or its capital being divided if the transfer is only in part.
