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.

Termination & Exit Rights

Why This Matters: Well-defined exit rights mitigate the risk of lock-in and stranded liabilities if business circumstances change.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Negotiate clear termination triggers and reasonable notice periods to ensure flexibility. Protect against stranded liabilities by defining post-termination obligations.

If you're the Seller:

Ensure termination rights are balanced and align with business objectives. Advocate for notice requirements that allow sufficient time for operational adjustments.
