All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading.

So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares. Even when we talk about cash deals, a stock value for the target firm is discussed, and that value may be considerably higher than its current market price. Therefore, it is possible that the owners of the purchased company could make a substantial monetary gain, notably if it is thought that the combined firm will be a vast improvement over what it was prior to the purchase.

One such example is the dismissal of employees, which hurts the employees but improves profitability for the combined firm by cost reduction. Additionally, it might result in greater stock prices for the acquirer and the acquired company’s shareholders. There is another way for shareholders to sell shares at a premium if the purchased company’s stock rises after the acquisition is announced.

There is a chance that the acquiring firm might not have enough cash on hand, to complete an all-cash, all-stock acquisition. When this occurs to obtain the money needed, a firm is allowed to turn to the financial markets or creditors.

A potential action by the purchasing corporation could be to issue new bonds in that way that the bonds are purchased by buyers who give money to the issuing corporation in exchange for interest and repayment of the main, or initial, value when the bond matures.

There are two types of acquired corporations. The ones that are not publicly listed yet and might do initial public offerings in which case investors would be given shares of the corporation in exchange for money. For the second one - additional shares could be issued by publicly listed corporations already in existence to obtain money for acquisitions.

Offering shareholders the option to convert all of their shares in the target firm for shares in the
acquiring firm is an alternative acquisition strategy that could be used. This kind of exchange is known as stock-for-stock transactions, and it's tax-free. Alternatively, the acquiring company can potentially offer both stock and cash.
