Mergers & Acquisitions

DHG proactively helps corporate finance and management manage the complexities of an M&A transaction.

A merger or acquisition transaction proposes great opportunity as well as great risk. Nevertheless, the forthcoming value of an M&A deal propels its ongoing activity in the marketplace.

Factors that typically drive M&A transaction volume include:

• General company reorganization
• Calculated acquisitions by competitors
• Attraction of U.S. businesses to foreign buyers
• Corporate valuations based on fluctuating market conditions

DHG can help identify solutions to otherwise overlooked challenges.

As M&A tax impacts may materially affect a company’s transaction, it is important to consider the possible issues that may arise should you proceed in merging with, acquiring or disposing of a business entity. Issues may include:

• Ordinary vs. capital gain
• Legal status of prospective target
• Financing structure
• Tax attribute remainders
• Sales taxes
• Transaction costs
• Filing requirements
• Accumulated liability
