,MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
The past lectures have provided insights into how firms
finance themselves
The follow up question is: what do they do with the money
An important reason why firms need financing is to
participate in mergers and acquisitions.
How are M&As financed?
Cash Mostly done with cash and stock
Stock
Debt? Eg. LBO’s

Relates to capital structure theory (high stock price want to pay with shares instead of cash)
