Assets contributions and mergers

Assets contributions and mergers

A player in legal restructuring operations

At the heart of corporate life

Today, the need to adapt to circumstances and to the requirements of their environment very often leads businesses to constitute themselves in the form of groups of companies in order to cooperate, diversify, acquire or sell sectors of activities, raise funds and develop their investor base.

Changing the structure of a group of companies, however simple and concentrated this group may be, is a more complex operation than restructuring within a single legal entity, whether it is a matter of contributions of individual assets, contributions of branches of activity, mergers or demergers.

Each of these operations is subject to legal regulations, has specific accounting and tax consequences and often involves social issues. In most cases, these operations bring up questions concerning the valuation of companies, independent branches or individual assets.

Issues involved in restructuring operations

What operation

Defining the operation best suited to the objective to be attained, incorporating requirements in the tax, social, accounting and financial fields.

What impacts

The appropriate solution often consists of a series of operations for which it is essential to gauge the consequences for the distribution of partners' rights, shareholders’ equity and the profitability structure while incorporating the specific costs, particularly in tax terms.
