How are private mergers and acquisitions typically structured?

Most typically, private M&A transactions are affected pursuant to either an asset purchase agreement between an acquirer and the target company or a share purchase agreement between an acquirer and the shareholders of a target company. 

Depending on the circumstances, the most appropriate transaction structure will depend on a variety of factors and should be discussed with your legal and financial advisers. For the success of any acquisition, choosing the right structure is critical.
