# Acquisitions

A consolidation vehicle can make a transaction in which your company is being acquired simpler.

### How does it work?

Prior to acquisition, you would have all non-major holders of the target company consolidated into a single entity.

### What about document signatures?

It depends on the configuration of your consolidation vehicle. Some companies configure their Consolidation Vehicle with proxy / power of attorney over certain decisions. Contact us to learn more.

Regardless, all stakeholders that are being consolidated will need to complete a sign-up process with certain KYC information.

### Does this change the tax status for investors?

No, the process of using a consolidation vehicle does not involve a transfer of stock into a partnership, so QSBS eligibility may not be impacted.

### How do investors receive stock or cash proceeds?

* For stock of a private company, the single entity for the consolidation vehicle holds the stock.
* For stock of a public company, the single entity for the consolidation vehicle holds the stock and disburses it out to investors in-kind through a transfer or provides investors with the option to sell.
* For cash proceeds, the single entity for the consolidation vehicle receives the proceeds and manages the disbursement to the investors' accounts.
* For escrow proceeds, the single entity will receive payments as they are collected.
