A reverse merger is the acquisition of a public company by a private company, so that the private company can bypass the lengthy and complex Initial Public Offering. Going public through a reverse merger allows a privately held company to become publicly held at a lesser cost, with less stock dilution than through an IPO and is less susceptible to market conditions.
