Mergers And Acquisitions From A Cypriot Perspective

INTRODUCTION

Mergers and acquisitions in line with company reorganisations and corporate restructuring are the main elements comprising the world corporate finance market. Accordingly, merger and acquisition transactions generally aim to either bring together two separate legal entities into forming a more powerful company, or, as the case may be, divide an existing company. Transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, if efficiently used, may turn vision into practice, and deliver results including among others the mitigation of risk and taxes. In line with the above, in order to derive the optimum results in such transactions, the jurisdiction to be used for the implementation of a wisely structured reorganisation plan would need to be carefully selected.
