Technically speaking, that is. After final documents are signed? After the integration of the acquired company is completed? Or something else completely? Is there one generally agreed-upon definition?
Thanks

After all documents are signed. For our deals, there is usually a "closing" event that is held at the lawyers' offices where the appropriate person signs the final paperwork. Afterwards, the funds flow starts and the wires hit all the appropriate bank accounts.
Integration for some of the larger acquisitions can take years, so this is a terrible measure for when a deal closes. In fact, some acquirers never integrate the target at all, and some even fail at attempts to integrate.

Just as CompBanker said, I assume it is a difference between legal and economic terms, contract law is when you sign it, whereas the actual economics of it can take years and have a totally different outcome.
A deal is consummated upon execution of all of the requesite closing documents as outlined by Comp. The actual closing is miserable and takes hours...you literally sit in a room and compile original sig pages for the closing sets. Compiling the funds flow and all the relevant invoices and wire instructions is also miserable. Your accountants place calls to your banks and the banks press the buttons and everyone gets paid. Luckily, there are always lots of cookies at the closings. A few weeks later your bankers send you sweet deal blocks/lucites and take you out to a nice closing dinner. Then the real work begins
