The mergers & acquisitions market in Germany is the second largest in the European Union (EU). Economic recovery has revitalised mergers & acquisitions activity. The number of transactions increases e...ch year. German companies have become attractive targets. Foreign investors outside the EU stand to gain access to Europe's largest national market as well as to the whole of the EU market. At the same time, many German companies have acquired the financial muscle to fund their own expansions. Most business activity in Germany is through medium-sized companies, often extraordinarily profitable. Some 300,000 of them, family-run & facing problems of succession, may come up for sale by the year 2000. The German attitude towards foreign investment is liberal, setting the scene for a high level of mergers & acquisitions activity. This meticulous guide covers both the background & the details of mergers & acquisitions, including the following: . review of the corporate environment & regulatory framework; . consideration of merger control & antitrust provisions in the EU context; . examination of the practicalities of takeover, including methods for financing & the necessary legal steps; . explanation of German labour laws (the German workforce plays an active role in business organisation); & . discussion of acquisitions in the former East Germany, now covered by West German law. This is a revised edition of a work that gained wide respect in its first edition. Its clear explanations & accessible approach make it an essential reference for all parties concerned with mergers & acquisitions activity in Germany or attracted by its expanding mergers & acquisitions market. 続きを見る
