Sam Robson quizzes David Kuo about mergers and acquisitions.

In this Ask A Foolish Question video, Motley Fool editor Sam Robson asks David Kuo to explain which shareholders benefit from the merger of two companies. With takeovers and acquisitions in the news of late, the Foolish twosome include mentions of Pearson (LSE: PSON), AG Barr (LSE: BAG), Britvic (LSE: BVIC) and British Aerospace (LSE: BA).
