A reorganisation is a transaction in which a company restructures its operations or ownership structure. These can involve mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs, among other forms of transactions. The purpose of a reorganisation is usually to improve the efficiency or profitability of the company.

​

Schemes: Schemes are a common type of transaction in the context of mergers and acquisitions. In a scheme, the acquiring business proposes to purchase the target company's shares from the target company's owners, often at a premium to the current market price. The scheme requires the permission of a majority of the target company's shareholders, as well as approval from the court.

​

A demerger is a transaction in which a business divides its operations into two or more distinct entities. This can be accomplished by a spin-off, where the new firms are dispersed to current shareholders, or a sale, when the new companies are sold to third-party buyers. The purpose of a demerger is usually to form distinct, more focused organisations that can operate more efficiently and financially.

All of these transactions can have significant legal and financial ramifications, and it is crucial for businesses to seek the counsel of attorneys and financial experts when contemplating any form of restructuring transaction.
