Sale and Contribution Agreement

A Sale and Contribution Agreement formalizes the transfer of assets or capital into a joint entity. This playbook analyzes valuation methods, assumption of liabilities, and closing deliverables.

Representations & Warranties

Why This Matters: Accurate representations prevent unknown liabilities from surfacing post-closing and ensure both parties can rely on the agreed factual baseline.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all representations are accurate and include survival periods that align with industry standards. Negotiate for materiality qualifiers that protect your interests without undermining the accuracy of disclosures.

If you're the Seller:

Disclose all material facts accurately to avoid future liabilities. Negotiate survival periods that are reasonable and ensure materiality qualifiers are included to limit liability.

Essential elements

1

Survival Periods

Duration representations remain enforceable.
2

Materiality Qualifiers

Limits liability based on significance.
3

Disclosure Obligations

Extent of required factual disclosures.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if survival periods are too short or materiality qualifiers are missing.

EDIT

Reject if representations are inaccurate or lack essential disclosures.

ADD

Add clauses if survival periods or materiality qualifiers are absent.

PRO TIP

Always verify the accuracy of representations and ensure they are backed by appropriate documentation.
