In the context of mergers and acquisitions, ownership refers to the legal and economic control or possession of a significant portion of a business entity. Ownership involves having the right to make decisions regarding the business’s operations, strategic direction, and key initiatives. Understanding ownership is crucial in M&A transactions, as the acquiring company is often interested in gaining a controlling interest or a substantial stake in the target company.
