- Merger by incorporation: one company absorbs another or others.
- Merger by integration: a new company is created to replace the previous ones.
In both cases, the assets, rights, obligations and personnel are transferred to the new or absorbing company.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
