Investment Subscription Agreement

An Investment Subscription Agreement sets the terms for an investor‚ purchase of securities in a company or fund. This playbook addresses representations, closing conditions, and investor rights under applicable securities laws.

Termination Provisions

Why This Matters: Clear termination clauses avoid uncertainty and costly disputes if the parties’ relationship sours. Knowing exit rights and costs helps parties manage risk and make informed business decisions.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that termination rights are clearly defined to protect the company's interests. Negotiate for reasonable notice and cure periods to allow for potential resolution of issues before termination.

If you're the Investor:

Seek to include provisions that allow for fair compensation in the event of termination. Ensure that the notice and cure periods are sufficient to address any alleged breaches.

Essential elements

1

Material Breach

Defines breach and cure period.
2

Insolvency Clause

Rights upon party insolvency.
3

Change of Control

Termination rights on control change.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if notice periods are too short or economic consequences are not clearly defined.

EDIT

Reject if termination rights are overly restrictive or one-sided.

ADD

Add language to clarify economic consequences or extend cure periods.

PRO TIP

Always ensure termination clauses are aligned with jurisdiction-specific requirements to avoid unenforceable provisions.

Real-world examples

If the breach is not cured within the specified period, the Agreement shall terminate at the end of the cure period."

UNFAVORABLE

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, termination clauses should include detailed risk assessments and mitigation strategies to protect both parties.

Long-Term Contracts

For long-term contracts, consider including periodic review clauses to reassess termination rights and obligations.

Cross-Border Agreements

Cross-border agreements may require additional considerations for termination due to varying international laws and regulations.
