An asset purchase agreement defines exactly which assets are being bought and which liabilities are assumed. It also sets the price and closing date. During negotiations, ensure you have clear reps and warranties and a solid indemnity to cover potential breaches.
An asset purchase transfers specific assets and often excludes liabilities, allowing more control over what is acquired. A stock purchase transfers ownership of the entity and can carry broader liability exposure.
Reps commonly cover authority to enter the agreement, ownership or title to assets, and absence of undisclosed liabilities. Warranties relate to financial statements, compliance, and absence of liens, with indemnities if breached.
Asset schedules list which assets are included and may specify contracts, IP, inventory, and equipment. Attachments should align with the asset list and include transfer terms.
Indemnities typically include a defined cap, survival period, and specific remedies. We tailor indemnity language to the deal’s risk profile and your objectives.
Typical closing conditions include delivery of documents, clearance of liens, and payment of the purchase price. Additional conditions may address regulatory approvals and third party consents.
