« Back to Glossary Index

In the context of mergers and acquisitions, the term “owner” typically refers to an individual or entity that holds a significant ownership stake in a business. The owner, in this context, may be a shareholder, investor, or a group of individuals or entities with a controlling interest in the target company. In M&A transactions, the concept of ownership is crucial, as the acquiring company is often interested in obtaining control or a significant stake in the target company. The ownership structure of a business can influence the negotiations, terms of the deal, and the overall integration process.
