Public companies, in general, have a significant impact on the economies of countries as they are the main engine of economic operations. Due to fierce competition that resulted from globalization and free trade, many companies have raised their working capital through merger and acquisitions (M&As) to expand their operations so as to increase their market share. Motives behind merges are varied and may include efforts to overcome financial and operational challenges, to acquire critical resources or to increase market share, just to name a few. Merger may lead to proportionate savings in costs gained by an increased level of production (Aruna & Nirmala, 2013). In the year 2017, the Merger & Acquisition report issued by International Financial Law Review (IFLR) has mentioned that the US experienced significant growth in terms of both volume and value of M&As deals. In 2017, the number of deals in the US reached 9700 completed or pending worth about $1.515 trillion dollars. In a competitive market, the merger process in most cases will lead to stronger companies financially and administratively and will enable these companies to enter into new markets and new types of activities with the hopes to improve performance by applying the comparative advantages that are believed to be enjoyed or characterized by the other company, especially in terms of cost pressures and expand the geographical or qualitative scope of the processes or both and increase reserves and reserve provisions and reduce the necessary burdens or benefit from tax advantages, and in general it will improve the capacity in order to manage risk and increase profit.
