The term "mergers and acquisitions" (M&A) refers to the merging of businesses or their key financial assets through business-to-business financial transactions. A business can completely buy out and absorb another business, combine with it to form a new business, take over some or all of its key assets, make a tender offer for its stock, or launch a hostile takeover. They are all M&A activities.
