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.
Tipp City is a city in Miami County, Ohio, United States. The population was 9,221 at the 2000 census. Formerly known as Tippecanoe, and then Tippecanoe City, this town was renamed to Tipp City in 1938 because another town in Ohio was likewise named Tippecanoe. The Miami Valley town now lies along Interstate 75 near the Interstate 70 interchange, and has a growing downtown restaurant and service economy to complement its rural and residential heritage. Tipp City has been called "a truly exquisite little town" by many visitors. Tipp City is part of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area.
