	Mergers and acquisitions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Usually mergers occur in a consensual setting where executives from the target company help those from the purchaser in a due diligence process to ensure that the deal is beneficial to both parties.
		Mergers are generally differentiated from acquisitions partly by the way in which they are financed and partly by the relative size of the companies.
		A merger can resemble a takeover but result in a new company name (often combining the names of the original companies) and in new branding; in some cases, terming the combination a "merger" rather than an acquisition is done purely for political or marketing reasons.

		A merger is very similar to an acquisition or takeover, except that in the case of a merger existing stockholders of both companies involved retain a shared interest in the new corporation.
		The entire merger process is usually kept secret from the general public, and often from the majority of the employees at the involved companies.
		One use of the merger, for example, is to combine a very profitable company with a losing company in order to use the losses as a tax write-off to offset the profits, while expanding the corporation as a whole.

		MERGER - Where a greater and lesser thing meet, and the latter loses its separate existence and sinks into the former.

		But when one offence is of the same character with the other, there is no merger; as in the case of a conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, and the misdemeanor is afterwards committed in pursuance of the conspiracy.

	PC World - Hewlett Heir Argues Against HP-Compaq Merger
		The merger, which is opposed by both the Hewlett and Packard families as well as by the foundations they represent, is set to be voted on at a shareholder's meeting in early 2002, though no date has yet been set.
		If the merger were to be successfully completed, HP shareholders would see their share of the company's valuable imaging and printing business diluted and their risk in the high-stakes, low-margin world of consumer PCs increased, Hewlett wrote.
		In place of the merger, HP "needs to focus on what it does well, and to change and grow organically, with targeted tactical acquisitions--a strategy that has proven to be successful in the technology industry," he wrote.

	AFL-NFL Merger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AFL-NFL Merger of 1970 involved the merger of the two major professional American football leagues in the United States during the time: the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL).
		The features of the merger depended on the passage of a law by the 89th United States Congress, exempting the merged league from antitrust law sanctions.
