Mergers 3 and Acquisitions 


Marisol: What do you think of the big announcement this morning? 


Lamar: That our company is going to merge 1 with McQ Corp.? From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, this isn’t a merger 2 but a hostile takeover. 


Marisol: But the CEO said this morning that our company and McQ Corp. are equals in this merger, and the integration 4 of the two companies will be seamless. 


Lamar: Don’t you believe it! McQ Corp. has a history of taking over companies with high valuations and a lot of assets and selling them off in pieces. This is no friendly acquisition. 


Marisol: But what about all of that talk about our two companies consolidating 5 into a strong business entity 6 and creating great synergy? Didn’t you buy any of that? 


Lamar: Not one word. When McQ Corp. is through with us, we’ll be lucky to still have the shirts on our backs!
