Overview: This article focuses on the principal business terms that are negotiated as part of any merger or acquisition, the documents that evidence those terms as negotiated, and the typical “process” of the deal. Understanding these elements is essential for pursuing or defending against any merger or acquisition. Some of these principles are valuation of the consideration, adjustments negotiated to the consideration, exclusivity, Non-Solicitation, break-up fee Provisions, definitive agreement and many more. Recent trends in business have turned toward mergers or acquisitions, as the most likely for obtaining liquidity for the acquired business’ owners. The most successful mergers and acquisitions begin with planning and protecting and require an early understanding of the fundamental business terms. To assure all of this as well as a process that works smoothly, any business seeking to make an acquisition or to be acquired should involve its legal counsel, auditing firm, and business broker or investment banker early in the process.
