In this ongoing series, a number of different M&A experts from the global offices of Rödl & Partner present an important term from the specialist language of the mergers and acquisitions world, combined with some comments on how it is used. We are not attempting to provide expert legal precision, review linguistic nuances or present an exhaustive definition, but rather to give or refresh a basic understanding of a term and provide some useful tips from our consultancy practice.
Post-merger integration (“PMI”) is the process where two or more entities merge their assets, people, tasks and resources after a transaction, with the goal to create the most value for the future to the investment made. PMI is an important, even if often slightly neglected part of the merger process, requiring careful planning to ensure a successful outcome. It can be a long and complex procedure, but by understanding the process and the relevant prevailing circumstances, and taking the necessary steps accordingly, foundation for a successful merger may be established. One should not neglect it, but also not always to harmonize everything at once.
