Types of Business Mergers and Acquisition Structures
Four questions separate these structures, and consent is the one that usually decides. Asset purchase. The buyer takes what it selects. In New York that principle has exceptions — de facto merger, bulk sale tax notice, environmental liability — but the structure is the only one offering any choice at all. The cost is consent: every material contract must be assigned, and every counterparty gains leverage it did not have before. Permits often do not transfer under any language. Stock purchase. Nothing transfers, because the entity remains the same party to everything. Contracts survive untouched, though change-of-control provisions still fire. The problem is that you need every shareholder to sell. One holdout blocks full ownership. Statutory merger. Liabilities pass by operation of law, all of them. But approval requires a shareholder vote rather than unanimity, which solves the holdout problem — at the cost of appraisal rights for dissenters, payable in cash outside the deal consideration. The reverse triangular merger sits where those pressures meet. A buyer subsidiary merges into the target; the target survives. Contracts and permits stay with the same entity, and a shareholder vote delivers one hundred percent. It is the standard structure for private acquisitions for exactly that reason. Tax runs on a separate track, and it is federal. Asset deals give the buyer a stepped-up basis and can cost a C corporation seller two layers of tax. Stock deals give no step-up unless an election is available. Mergers can be tax-free entirely if they meet the reorganization requirements — which are structural, and easy to fail while optimizing for something else.
