If you've been reading the newspaper recently in the business section or listening to the
radio or watching television and specifically the business reports. Or, even on the internet
looking at the business section, you've probably heard of the term acquisition. Hello I'm Robert
Todd and I'm here to answer the question "how do corporations make acquisitions?" Well perhaps
the simplest definition of a corporate acquisition is where one corporation purchases the stock
purchase or a asset purchase of the other corporation's assets. The main thing to remember
is the acquisition defines a transfer of ownership, even if the acquired company continues as
a separate entity. Now, if you want more information on that, you can follow up by going to the
Securities and Exchange Commission website and looking up acquisitions and having them
explained to you. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching.
