Mergers and acquisitions have become a growing trend for companies to inorganically grow a business within its particular industry. There are many goals that companies may be looking to achieve by doing this, but the main reason is to guarantee long-term and profitable growth for their business. Companies have to keep up with a rapidly increasing global market and increased competition. With the struggle for competitive advantage becoming stronger and stronger, it is almost essential to achieve these mergers. Through research I will attempt to dissect the best practices for achieving merger success.

Linear Technology (LT) is like many firms where it used a combination of dividend payments and share / stock repurchases to distribute cash to its shareholders. With a cash dividend, cash is paid directly to shareholders while, with a stock repurchase, a firm uses its cash to buy back its own shares from the market which in turn reduces the number of outstanding shares (Titman and Keown et al., 2011). LT wanted to be able to attract different dividend clienteles of investors which have the both income goals and growth goals (Baker and Wagonfeld, 2004).

The rule of thumb in contract remedies is injured party is only entitled to the economic expectation or its equivalent. It is not entitled to the actual performance of the contract. That is why, usually, drafting the provisions regarding the breach of the contract, an attorney will be most focused on the monetary damages as the standard and the most commonly used type of the remedies. Monetary damages are generally awarded as a sum of money equal to the loss in value to the injured party of the other party’s failed or deficient performance, plus any other loss caused by the breach .

Miller Caterini, and Geroux (MGC) is considering acquiring and merging with Rizzi, Alonge, Tremba, and Hahn to form a new company (McGrath, Inc). Before this process can begin, every merger and acquisition is subject to a definitive plan. This plan must detail strategic fit of the two companies describing and measuring the value of their synergies. This value is determined through describing the functions the merger would serve (what new opportunities are provided) and through a pro-forma statement to determine how the companies fit financially. If the deal is either not strategically or fiscally prudent then MCG should seek other opportunities. Assuming the companies present strong synergistic qualities there are a few options that MCG has in acquiring and merging with RATH. In this case MCG has expressed that it plans on acquiring RATH and then consolidating the two companies to form McGrath, Inc. In order to acquire RATH, MCG could acquire RATH with either cash, stock, or a combination of both. Additionally, the time frame can be flexible, if they want to acquire all at once or if MCG prefers to have a “creeping” transaction that takes place over a lover period of time. There are pros and cons to each strategy, which I will detail below in regards to different classes of common stock, RATH’s highly levered capital structure, and finally ownership to the new company.

Today, we were called into the boss's office and told that our company was about to go through a major restructuring. In two weeks, the organization will be merging with a national conglomerate and it is our job to get the "troops prepared", as she put it.
