cash (noun, cash, \ kæʃ \) merger (noun, merg-er, \ ˈmɜːrdʒər \)
Definition: is a type of transaction, during which the buying firm purchases the target company’s stock with cash, thus, avoiding the traditional route of exchanging it with its own stock. Such mergers oftentimes occur when the owners of the target organization want to avoid being identified with the enterprise that will result from the buy-out. In other cases, cash mergers happen when the purchasing company is substantially larger than the target firm. Alternatively, such a process can be defined as a cash-out merger.
