A Merger or Acquisition is complicated, the convergence produces systemic problems, here is one experts view of the manner by which this can be effectively managed; its all information gathering. Its particularly interesting about which issues are seen as pivotal but its the missing information that excites me.

The Role of Investor Relations in a Merger or Acquisition

The function of communicating with current and prospective shareholders distills down to two words – "investor relations." And the measure of effectiveness is put to the supreme test when a company is involved in a merger or acquisition.

Corporate management is ever mindful of "what’s in the best interest of the shareholders"… and never more so than when the very structure, culture and identity of the company is at stake.

Investor relations (IR) is both the finger on the shareholder pulse and a strong voice in explaining how a proposed merger or acquisition will impact investors. It is important that a merging company maintain its value for current shareholders, but also show potential new investors how the consolidation creates added value.

As "big is better" becomes an accepted truism rather than a tired cliché, convergence and consolidation is reaching record levels across a broad corporate spectrum. In the forefront is the utility industry.

Astute management knows that internal expansion alone may not be enough to achieve the rate of growth demanded by today’s investors. Increasingly, the answer lies in convergence through corporate merger or acquisition. Pair-offs in M&A situations match a friendly shopper with a willing seller… or pit a hostile aggressor against a determined defender. Frequently, the roles change as negotiations heat up.
