Fusion (entreprise)
Les effets de la fusion

Le schéma de base d’une opération de fusion entraîne trois effets juridiques distincts mais concomitants, à savoir :

- La transmission universelle du patrimoine de la société absorbée à la société absorbante ou à la société nouvelle issue de la fusion ;

- Corrélativement à la transmission de son patrimoine, l’opération de fusion entraîne nécessairement la dissolution de l’absorbée ;

- La fusion suppose la rémunération des apports de la société absorbée. Celle-ci est réalisée au moyen d’une attribution de droits sociaux. Ainsi, les associés de la société absorbée doivent recevoir des titres de l’absorbante en contrepartie de leurs apports. Il s'agit de nouveaux titres de la société absorbante créés en contrepartie d'une augmentation de capital dite **"par échange de titres"**.

What does the term "stock-for-stock" mean?

"Stock-for-stock" most commonly appears in headlines in reference to the stock-for-stock merger. In this type of merger, the acquiring company trades shareholders of the target company a predetermined number of shares of its own stock for each share of the target company's stock. This type of merger is often said to be more efficient than traditional cash-for-stock mergers because the transaction costs involved are substantially lower and the stock-for-stock arrangement doesn't stretch the acquiring company's cash position quite as much. "

http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/05/whatisstockforsto...

"When the merger is stock-for-stock, the acquiring company simply proposes to the target firm a payment of a certain number of its equity shares in exchange for all of the target company's shares. Provided the target company accepts the offer (which includes a specified conversion ratio), the acquiring company essentially issues certificates to the target firm's shareholders, entitling them to trade in their current shares for rights to acquire a pro rata number of the acquiring firm's shares."
