Share for share exchange

SS6y ago
Hi John, Could you kindly help me, I think I’ve confused myself and need some clarity. When we do a share for share exchange in an acquisition for example. Are we always issuing extra shares or are these shares we already have? Thank you.

They are issuing new shares :-)

Oh wow. Thank you John. I’ve actually asked students and they’ve said it’s shares they already have. And that too was my assumption. I’m going to read through questions with that perspective and hopefully I get it. Or else I’ll be back =D Thank you! Your turnaround response is so helpful, really appreciate it
