are either set up or acquired by the controlling
company.

as an associate company.

passive investment.

Difference between a merger, an acquisition, a divestiture, and a spinoff?
An acquisition of a company occurs when all or part of a company is purchased by another
company. At other times, the shareholders of a target company sell their shares to a buyer
A merger is a form of an acquisition that is structured by combining the target company with
the acquirer (or its acquisition subsidiary) into one legal entity.
A divestiture can be any among a broad range of transactions that result in a portion of a
company, such as a subsidiary, a division, or a line of business, being sold to another party.
A spinoff is a type of divestiture in which the divested unit becomes an
independent company instead of being sold to a third party.
