How A Merger Works
合併是如何運作的
A merger happens when a company combines operations with another company. In practice, one company will buy the other company's stock in exchange for its own stock. In some cases, cash is used to pay for the company's stock but usually the companies agree to a stock-for-stock transaction.
當一家公司將業務與另一家公司合併時，就會發生合併。在實踐中，一家公司將購買另一家公司的股票，以換取自己的股票。在某些情況下，現金被用來支付公司的股票，但通常兩家公司同意以股換股的交易。
Due to the exchange and acquisition of stock, a merger is similar to an acquisition. This is why the two terms are commonly grouped together as mergers and acquisitions (M&A). However, in a merger, the leadership & operations of both companies usually change dramatically, while during an acquisition this is less likely to happen.
由於股票的交換和收購，合併類似於收購。這就是為什麼這兩個術語通常被歸類為合併和收購(M&A)。然而，在合併中，兩家公司的領導層和運營通常會發生戲劇性的變化，而在收購期間，這種情況發生的可能性較小。
