A subsidiary is a company that is controlled by another company, which is called the mother company. The mother company owns the majority of the shares of the subsidiary, thus giving it control and decision-making authority over its activities. In fact, subsidiaries are particularly useful in cases of mergers, the so-called ‘reverse triangular merger’, which occurs when a company is formed to become a subsidiary of a mother company, and then that subsidiary acquires another company, resulting in that company being absorbed by the mother company.
