After the completion of a merger or acquisition, disputes often arise among the creditors, the acquirer and the acquired party over who should assume the pre-existing debts of the acquired party.
Whether an acquirer should assume the acquired party’s existing debts depends on the form and circumstances of the merger or acquisition, according to the laws and regulations currently in force.
