Reverse merger

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.

Reverse merger. In a reverse merger, a privately held company purchases a publicly held company and, as part of the new entity, becomes public without an initial public offering (IPO).

It's described as reverse because in the more typical merger pattern a public company purchases a private company to expand its business.
