Article posted in 2024-05-08 12:26:57 | VEAT

Law firm Veat received a request from Company A (hereinafter referred to as "the client") and reviewed the structure for a corporation to acquire a non-profit foundation (M&A) in Korea.

​Law firm Veat’s investment team thoroughly analyzed the founding purpose, operating structure, and relevant laws of a specific non-profit foundation, and legally reviewed the possibility of a corporation legally acquiring a non-profit association or foundation.

We comprehensively reviewed and advised on methods such as a corporation becoming a member of a non-profit association, acquiring the association’s business, the possibility of acquiring assets through liquidation, or the possibility of merging through organizational changes.

 

What is M&A?

 

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) is a process where one company integrates with another company or multiple companies merge into one company for various economic purposes such as improving corporate management efficiency or strengthening market dominance.

​M&A can be broadly divided into friendly M&A and hostile M&A. Friendly M&A is carried out by the agreement of both parties, while hostile M&A is the case of acquiring management rights without the consent of another company. 

When attempting to merge or acquire a non-profit association or foundation, the merger or acquisition may be restricted or even legally impossible according to the laws that serve as the basis for the establishment and operation of that organization. Therefore, we recommend that you receive a review with the help of legal professionals who have extensive experience in numerous M&A cases.
