The closing of a merger or acquisition often takes place well after the agreement has been reached. This is because many conditions have to be fulfilled prior to the eventual closing. Among them may be the formal approval by shareholders. In addition, the parties may also need to secure regulatory approvals from governmental authorities, such as the Justice Department or Federal Trade Commission as well as regulators in other nations in the case of global firms. In many cases the final purchase price will be adjusted according to the formula specified in the agreement.
