difference Between merger and acquisition?..

Answer / rang pandey

Merger
The case when two companies (often of same size) decide to move forward as a single new company instead of operating business separately.
The stocks of both the companies are surrendered, while new stocks are issued afresh.
For example, Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beehcam ceased to exist and merged to become a new company, known as Glaxo SmithKline.

Acquisition
The case when one company takes over another and establishes itself as the new owner of the business.
The buyer company “swallows” the business of the target company, which ceases to exist.
Dr. Reddy's Labs acquired Betapharm through an agreement amounting $597 million.
