In the law of corporations, a merger is effected when one or more corporations becomes a part of, or merges, with another corporation so that one ceases to exist and the other continues to exist. In a merger, the company that continues to exist retains its name and identity and acquires the assets, liabilities, franchises, and powers of the corporation that ceases to exist. Attorneys who practice in mergers and acquisitions (sometimes called M & A) represent corporations and other business entities in strategizing, negotiating, and carrying out transactions in which two or more companies or corporations combine into a single new entity, a merger, or where one business purchases and absorbs the assets of another, an acquisition.
Angelus Oaks is an unincorporated town in San Bernardino County, California, USA, and has a population of 289. It is located north of Mentone, California on State Highway 38. Its downtown consists of a general store, a restaurant, gas pumps, a post office (zip code 92305), a real estate office, and a United States Forest Service office. Within town are two commercial lodges for overnight visitors. Angelus Oaks is served by the San Bernardino County Fire Department Station 15 and two private water companies. A historic one-room school house serving grades 1-5 closed permanently in 2004. A few miles past Angelus Oaks, in the Barton Flats area, there are multiple public Forest Service campsites and group camps run by various churches and non-profit organizations, including YMCA. The two largest and most active camps are the Boy Scout Camp Tahquitz and Camp Cedar Falls, run by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Jenks Lake hosts fishing and some swimming activities. Angelus Oaks was initially called Camp Angelus. In the 1970s, when the postal service decided to combine the two small post offices of Camp Angelus and Seven Oaks, closing the Seven Oaks location, they renamed the remaining office "Angelus Oaks". That name stuck with the town.
