I'd define them as a large company acquiring a private startup. Slack >> Salesforce was a cash-and-stock deal. Postmaters >> Uber, all stock. In cases where the company being acquired is already publicly traded, those deals would have to be all cash as their shareholders would need to be bought out. IBM paid cash for Hashicorp, and Doordash will acquire Deliveroo in cash.

Postmaters >> Uber, all stock Okay, in that category of M&A in practically any category, the vast majority of deals are all cash. Deferred, for executives, in most cases. But cash. > In cases where the company being acquired is already publicly traded, those deals would have to be all cash as their shareholders would need to be bought out Not true. Preferable. Easier. Not not a requirement.
