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.
Atascadero is a city in San Luis Obispo County, California, about equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles on U-S Highway 101. Atascadero is farther inland than most other San Luis Obispo County cities, and as a result, usually experiences warmer, drier summers and cooler winters than neighboring cities such as San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach. The current population is around 29,000. The brainchild of mega-entrepreneur E.G. Lewis, Atascadero CA is the result of nearly a century of organic community evolution. It is an amalgamation of rolling hills studded with majestic oaks and other mesmerizing flora; historic buildings; quaint lake park and zoo; dynamic enclaves of artists, musicians and writers; all surrounded by the most colorful visitor vistas and finest wineries in the state. Atascadero is the hub, the very center of California's Central Coast. == Annual events include: == Farmers Market - Downtown - Every Wednesday - Year 'Round Sweetheart Stroll - Downtown - Saturday before Valentines's Day - February Wildflower Bike Ride - April Central Coast Cince de Mayo - Saturday before May 5 Atascadero Wine & Golf Festival - Atascadero Lakeside Park - Saturday - June Tuesday Concerts in the Park - Atascadero Lakeside Park - June to August Saturday Concerts in the Park - Atascadero Lakeside park - June to August Great American Holiday - Saturday after July 4 Ice Cream Zoofari at the Zoo - July Hot El Camino Cruise Night - Huge car Cruise on Friday evening - August Mid-State Cruizers Car Show - Atascdero Lakeside Park - Saturday - August Sunken Gardens Flea Market - September Colony Days Parade & Celebration - Downtown - Third Saturday in October Halloween ZooBoo at the Zoo - October Downtown Winter Wonderland - Downtown - Second Friday in December More information: [www. visitatascadero. com]
