    Video Transcript

    "If you've been reading the newspaper recently in the business section or listening to the radio or watching television and specifically the business reports. Or, even on the internet looking at the business section, you've probably heard of the term acquisition. Hello I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question "how do corporations make acquisitions?" Well perhaps the simplest definition of a corporate acquisition is where one corporation purchases the stock purchase or a asset purchase of the other corporation's assets. The main thing to remember is the acquisition defines a transfer of ownership, even if the acquired company continues as a separate entity. Now, if you want more information on that, you can follow up by going to the Securities and Exchange Commission website and looking up acquisitions and having them explained to you. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
