Swap of Shares
A swap ratio is the rate at which an acquiring company exchanges its shares for the shares of the target company during a merger or acquisition.
The swap ratio determines how many shares the acquiring company offers in exchange for each share of the target company. This mechanism ensures shareholders of the target company receive proportional ownership in the merged or acquiring entity.
