Two companies, A and B.

1. If B is a subsidiary of A, then both A and B exist.
2. In a statutory merger, only A exists.
3. In a consolidation, both A and B disappear, and C(A+B) exists.

So, it depends on the type of takeover that's occurring, takeover could be (1) or (2) above.
Chime in please.

Acquisition = Company A buys sub of Company B (not entire company)

There are three types of mergers
A merges with B, both A and B remain (B functions almost as a subsidiary of A)
A merges with B, only A remains (B is absorbed into A)
A merges with B, create a new company C.

in which case it is a takeover not a merger? Thanks

Adding on the Dreary

Merge:
Subsidiary: A + B = A, B
Statutory Merger: A + B = A
Consol : A + B = C

I think merger and takeover are a matter of perspective and "wording". Takeover is from the controlling point of view and merger encompasses different types of takeover/acquisition/merge.

the reason I ask this question is because I recall one of the schweser mock exam, listed some defense, in the answer, it said white knight is a takeover defense, not for merger, etc.
it also listed bear hug, staggered..., tender offer, proxy vote, etc, which are defense for merger/acquisition..

I will post the question once I saw it again.
