A merger is a combination of two companies to form a new company, while an acquisition is the purchase of one company by another in which no new company. The terms company is used to describe an association of a number of person, formed for some common purpose and registered according to the law relating to companies. Lord Justice Lindley define: By a company is mean an association of

many person who contribute money or moneys worth to a common stock and employ it for a common purpose. The common stock so contribute is denoted in money and is the capital of the company. The persons who contribute it or to whom it belongs are members. The proportion of capital to which each member is entitled is his share. (1) Investopedia Says: An example of a major merger is the merging of JDS Fitel Inc. and Uniphase Corp. in 1999 to form JDS Uniphase. An example of a major acquisition is Manulife Financial Corporations 2004 acquisition of John Hancock Financial Services Inc. A merger occurs when one firm assumes all the assets and all the liabilities of another. The acquiring firm retains its identity, while the acquired firm ceases to exist.

The directives which contain regulations on board-level representation or information and consultation of employees, and so of particular significance for the legal position of employees, are documented in more detail. This section also contains information on other issues in European company law, such as the European Cooperative Society or the European Private Company (SPE). Both have significant implications for employees rights. Finally, some resolutions of the European Parliament in relation to company law are addressed separately. These are not binding, however, and the Parliament also lacks a right of initiative for legislative acts in the area of company law. Nevertheless, these resolutions indicate what is likely to obtain the (obligatory) agreement of the Parliament. (1) Furthermore, a number of other provisions give rise to problems. This is closely linked to the fact that the SPE draft statute will borrow its main features from the UK limited company (Ltd).

Rights & Liabilities after Mergers & Acquisitions: A merger is when two or more companies combine into a single, new business, called the survivor corporation or business. The survivor typically issues new shares of stock in exchange for the shares held in the old company the merged company by its shareholders. An acquisition is when one business, usually called the successor, buys either another companys stock or assets. The differences between mergers and acquisitions are perhaps most important

when it comes to understanding the companies respective rights and liabilities after the merger or acquisition which business is responsible for the debts and obligations of the company. Company a property of the shareholders: The traditional view that the company is the property of the shareholders is now an exploded myth. A company according to the new socioeconomic thinking is asocial institution having duties and responsibilities towards the community in which it functions. Maximization of social welfare should be the legitimate goal of a company and shareholders should be regarded not as proprietors of the company, but merely as suppliers of capital entitled to on more than reasonable return and the company should be responsible not only to share holders but also to workers. Analyzing part (Body) Barriers to growth: Companies that are not prepared for the transition from startup to growth company can get stuck. This is bad news for investors and employees, and worse news for our economy growth companies create two out of every three jobs.(1) Growth follows an S-curve: At first they grow exponentially, taking advantage of an abundance of early adopters, but then growth tapers off as the opportunity for the first generation product runs its course. To sustain growth the company needs to reach new markets with better products through more efficient channelsall while supporting customers of the first generation product. Unfortunately, entrepreneurs get blind-sided by this predictable speed bump. The financial forecasts of early growth companies assume that exponential growth will continue unabated as though the Petri dish kept getting bigger. When the reality of the S-curve becomes apparent the company finds itself unprepared to drive the next wave of growth. 1. http://wdpower.wordpress.com/ The importance of Venture Company: The main target to get more benefits.

The financial resources are very important for entrepreneurs who have projects such as product innovation or research development that require potential investors. Financial institutions such as banks offer loans to the entrepreneurs, but they demand the payment of interest on the invested capital. Angel investors, on the other hand, are mostly opulent retired individuals who are willing

to venture capital in the early stages of a company or growing business, in exchange for shares and bonds of the company. This allows them to stay abreast with the development of the business sector even while enjoying their retirement.

Law of venture: A joint venture is a general partnership typically formed to undertake a particular business transaction or project and is intended to exist for a limited time period. Joint ventures typically exist for 5-7 years. In a joint venture, two or more parent companies agree to share capital, technology, human resources, risks and rewards in a formation of a new entity under shared control. A joint venture is created with a specific project in mind and generally dissolves once the project has been completed. Members of the joint venture are exposed to full legal liability. A joint venture is treated like a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Joint ventures may be formed for a vast variety of purposes. Joint ventures are commonly used in real estate matters where two or more persons undertake to develop a specific piece of real property. Joint ventures are also widely used by companies to gain entrance into foreign markets. Foreign companies form joint ventures with domestic companies already present in markets the foreign companies would like to enter. The foreign companies generally contribute new technologies and business practices to the joint venture, while the domestic companies contribute their relationships and requisite governmental documents within the country, along with their established involvement in the domestic industry.(1) Joint ventures are usually formed through the legal procedures of creating a memorandum of understanding, a joint venture agreement, any ancillary agreements, and obtaining regulatory approval. Bangladesh law of venture: If a joint venture appears the best way forward, the next choice to be made is between a joint venture vehicle and a contractual joint venture. The contractual JV works by the parties acting as independent contractors under a joint venture agreement which sets out all of their rights and performance obligations, and their relationship is based solely on the terms of that contract. That contract might be termed a co-operation, collaboration or consortium agreement, as well as a joint venture agreement; these are not terms of art but simply reflect how the parties view the overall effect of their contractual arrangements. For a joint venture vehicle, the basic choice is between a limited liability company or a partnership, with the choice often being tax driven. However it is important that, in considering the tax issues, the parties do not lose sight of the key legal distinction that a limited liability company is a separate legal entity which allows the parties to limit their liability to their equity contributions, whilst partners have unlimited liability for the debts and liabilities of their partnership. The choice of Limited Liability Company may extend to a consideration of the vehicles available in different jurisdictions and some of the hybrid entities such as the UKs limited liability partnership or the Dutch cooperative. The parties to the venture shall share the profits, risks and losses in proportion to their respective contribution to the registered capital. No assignment of the registered capital of a joint venture participant shall be made without the consent of the other parties to the venture. The board of directors is empowered, pursuant to the provisions of the articles of association of the joint venture, to discuss and decide all major problems of the joint venture: expansion programs, proposals for production and operating

activities, the budget for revenues and expenditures, distribution of profits, plans concerning manpower and pay scales, the termination of business and the appointment or employment of the president, the vice-president(s), the chief engineer, the treasurer and the auditors, as well as their powers and periods of employment, etc. The offices of president and vice-president(s) (or factory manager and deputy manager(s)) shall be assumed by the respective parties to the venture. Matters such as the employment, dismissal, payment, welfare, labor protection and labor insurance of the staff and workers of joint ventures shall be provided for in contracts reached in accordance with the law. 1.
