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.
New Haven is an unincorporated community in central New Haven Township, Huron County, Ohio, United States. Although it is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 44850. It lies at the intersection of U.S. Route 224 with State Routes 61 and 598. Like many other towns in the Firelands region of Ohio that was settled by former residents of New England who fled the region during the Revolutionary War, New Haven is named for the Connecticut city of the same name. New Haven is also one of the ending points for what has come to be known as the Old State Road or the Worthington-New Haven Road, an old route that connected this town and the Firelands area to Worthington and subsesquently the capital city of Columbus. The Old State Road (not to be confused with current Huron County Road 52, also known as Old State Road), follows present day State Route 598 south to Galion.
