An asset purchase agreement is a contract that transfers specific assets from seller to buyer, including price, asset lists, contracts, and assignments. It also sets closing deliverables and post-closing obligations.
An asset purchase transfers assets; a stock purchase transfers ownership of the company. Asset purchases can limit assumed liabilities, while stock deals may carry broader corporate exposure.
Due diligence should cover financial statements, contracts, IP, and customer and supplier relationships. Review asset schedules, permits, and any pending or threatened liabilities.
Indemnification provisions allocate risk between buyer and seller and may include caps, baskets, and survival periods. Parties agree who pays for breaches and under what circumstances.
Closing conditions often require regulatory approvals, third-party consents, and no material adverse changes. Deliverables typically include signed agreements, assignable contracts, and payment arrangements.
Liabilities can sometimes be avoided or limited through careful drafting, exclusions, and careful allocation of risk. Some obligations may be retained by the seller.
Closing timelines depend on deal complexity and diligence. Working with experienced counsel can help keep the process on track.
After closing, asset transfers are completed, contracts are assigned, and post‑closing obligations are implemented. You may need to update registrations and notify customers and suppliers.
