PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES

Letter of Intent (LOI)

A Letter of Intent expresses preliminary terms for a potential transaction, outlining intent before formal contracts. This playbook clarifies binding vs. non-binding provisions and confidentiality obligations.

Representations & Warranties

Why This Matters: Inaccurate or overly broad reps can expose a party to unexpected liability and undermine transaction integrity.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure all representations are accurate and include knowledge qualifiers to limit liability. Define clear survival periods for each representation.

If you're the Seller:

Disclose any exceptions to representations and warranties in a detailed schedule. Negotiate survival periods that align with your risk tolerance.

Essential elements

1

Accuracy of Representations

Ensure all statements are true.
2

Knowledge Qualifier

Limit liability to actual knowledge.
3

Survival Period

Define duration post-closing.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if representations are too broad or lack necessary qualifiers.

EDIT

Reject if representations are inaccurate or impose undue risk.

ADD

Add clauses for exceptions and material adverse effects.

PRO TIP

Always align representations with actual business practices and ensure they are backed by documentation.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Comprehensive Accuracy Clause

"Each party represents and warrants that all statements made in this Agreement are true and accurate as of the date hereof and will be true and accurate as of the closing date, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the other party."
NEUTRAL

Standard Knowledge Qualifier

"Where any representation or warranty is qualified by the expression 'to the best of its knowledge' or any similar expression, it shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of the party making the representation or warranty, after due inquiry."
UNFAVORABLE

Vague Survival Terms

"All representations and warranties shall survive indefinitely without clear terms."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Transactions

In high-risk transactions, ensure representations are detailed and include robust survival periods to mitigate potential liabilities.

Cross-Border Deals

Consider jurisdictional differences in representations and warranties, especially regarding knowledge qualifiers and survival periods.

Tech Industry Specifics

In tech deals, focus on IP representations and ensure they are comprehensive and accurately reflect the company's assets.
