What are merger events?

A merger event is when two companies come together to become one bigger company.

Imagine you and your best friend each have a lemonade stand. You both sell lemonade, but you’re on different corners of the block. One day, you decide to join forces, you combine your lemons, sugar, and cups into one big lemonade station. Now you have more lemons, can make more lemonade, and maybe even charge less because you're sharing the cost. That’s a merger event in action!

• Before the merger, there are two separate companies, like your lemonade stand and your friend's.
• During the merger, they combine their resources, like combining lemons, cups, and money.
• After the merger, they work as one company, just like you and your friend now run one big lemonade station together.

Sometimes, the new company might even have a cool new name, just like how you could rename your stand "Super Lemon Squad"!
