stock sale
Shares changing hands
A stock sale is the sale of shares in a company, either by the company issuing new shares or by existing shareholders selling their holdings.
In business acquisitions, a stock sale means the buyer purchases the company's shares rather than its assets—a distinction with significant tax and liability implications: The deal was structured as a stock sale rather than an asset sale.
