Q: I operate a construction supply sales business in New
Hampshire as a limited liability company. My bank recently
asked me if the business has any foreign qualifications. We
do no business in Canada or overseas. What is the bank asking
for and why?
A: The term foreign qualification
is a common source of confusion for business owners. The term foreign in this context does not refer to
international, but rather, the bank is asking if your company is
registered to transact business in any state or jurisdiction other
Introduction
Malta is considered a reputable jurisdiction for Mergers and
Acquisitions (hereinafter M&A ) activity and has
proved to be a highly attractive forum through which M&A
transactions are structured. The legislative framework for M&A
activity in Malta, as is the case in many other jurisdictions, is
composed of various laws and regulations that seek to regulate a
number of aspects that may feature in M&A transactions which
include both local and cross-border activities. However, the
principal legislation regulating Mergers and Acquisitions of
companies in Malta is the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of
Malta) (hereinafter Companies Act ).
The most striking trend is the growth and growth of private equity led M&A since the onset of the pandemic. Private equity deal volume has gained share and aggregate deal value is breaking all records.
