company as a result

Pharma Advance Research company to reduce R&D

subsidiary’s common stock in the market. This is
similar to spin –offs, expect that some part of share
holders of this subsidiary company is offered to public
through a public issue and the parent company
continues to enjoy control over the subsidiary
company by holding controlling interest in it

by the profitable one (called normal merger). On the other
hand, if reverse situation takes place i.e. if sick company
extends its embracing arm to the profitable company and
in turn absorbs it in its fold, this action is called reverse
merger. It’s a merger of healthy company into a loss making
company as compared to a normal merger where weaker
units merge into stronger one.
The first case of reverse merger formulated by BIFR

Developer Limited with sick textile company SLM Maneklal
