[QUOTE="Lastseasonwonder, post: 86097, member: 4218"] Thanks for posting this on the public forum, [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER]. This way, everyone can benefit. That sounds about right. One thing I would add here is: when a company decides to use equity financing to acquire a target company, it issues news shares. Therefore, a special resolution, a 75% vote of that class of members (just another word for a shareholder), is required. This is pursuant to The Company Act 2006. Furthermore, this may be a long shot, but consider the duties of directors. The directors of a company have, for example, the duty to promote the success of the company. Is the issuance of new shares in the circumstances sufficient? I am no expert, but I would say to always think of the legal angle in your analysis. Ultimately, we are all applying to LAW firms. Also, another way to raise capital (for M&A activity) is an initial public offering (IPO). If you don’t already know about this, you can read more about it here: [URL]https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ipo.asp[/URL]. Apologies if I have insulted your intelligence here; I am just trying to give the most comprehensive overview possible. Finally, a great site that explores equity and debt financing: [URL]https://www.fe.training/free-resources/ma/ma-financing/[/URL]. Hope this helps! [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] [USER=5063]@Jacob Miller[/USER] [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] [USER=5505]@Neville Birdi[/USER] - you are all more experienced than me, so perhaps you can add more/correct me.
