de facto merger
USA
A de facto merger occurs when a transaction (which is not structured as a merger) is in substance a merger of the seller and buyer. The de facto merger doctrine is meant to detect these transactions (usually an asset sale) to prevent companies from avoiding the assumption of seller's liabilities while enjoying all the benefits of a merger.
