Recent Trends in M&A: Decrease in Pre-Approved M&A Attempts and Increase in Corporate Recovery Filings
According to a report by Herald Economy on April 23, 2025, the number of corporate recovery filings in the first quarter of this year increased by 27% compared to the same period last year, reaching 295 cases. On the other hand, pre-approved M&A attempts saw a decrease to 8 cases, down by 33% from the previous year.
Current Status of Pre-Approved M&A Process
Pre-approved M&A transactions are conducted under court supervision through methods such as new share acquisitions or corporate bond purchases. While recent cases like the acquisition of Winiaide (led by Uamco and Hyundai Rental Care Consortium) stand out, the overall deal size is showing a downward trend.
Market Influencing Factors
The deteriorating profitability of companies due to the economic downturn is leading to a contraction in the M&A market. Simultaneously, the increase in companies filing for recovery or bankruptcy necessitates a market structural adjustment.

최근 M&A 동향: 인가 전 M&A 감소와 회생신청 증가
2025년 4월 23일 헤럴드경제에 따르면, 올해 1분기 법인회생 신청 건수는 전년 동기 대비 27% 증가한 295건으로 나타났다. 반면 회생계획 인가 전 M&A 시도는 8건으로 전년 대비 33% 감소했다.
인가 전 M&A 절차 현황
인가 전 M&A는 법원 감독 하에 신주 인수 또는 회사채 매입 방식으로 진행된다. 최근 위니아에이드 인수 사례(유암코·현대렌탈케어 컨소시엄 주도)가 대표적이지만, 전체적인 거래 규모는 축소 추세다.
시장 영향 요인
경기 불황으로 인한 기업의 수익성 악화가 M&A 시장 위축으로 이어지고 있다. 이와 동시에 회생·파산 신청 기업이 증가하며 시장 구조 조정 필요성이 대두된다.
