Closing / Completion

The stage when a transaction is completed under the agreement and the relevant consideration and ownership interests are exchanged.

Distinguish a proposal, signing, shareholder approval, regulatory clearance and completion. Identify the stage actually announced.

A common pitfall

Announcing an acquisition or obtaining one approval does not establish that all closing conditions are satisfied.
