Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in China are complex processes that require careful consideration of legal, financial, and operational factors. In a share deal, the buyer acquires the outstanding stock of the target company directly from its stockholders. This means that the target company's name, operations, contracts, and other assets remain unchanged after the acquisition.
One of the main advantages of a share purchase is that it can simplify the assignment and third-party consent procedures that are often required in an asset purchase. However, since the buyer is acquiring the entire company, a share purchase involves a "change of control," which means that the buyer must identify contracts that require consent.
