Reviewing acquisition documents

This guidance note addresses some points of interest for lawyers for the lenders when reviewing specific acquisition documents. In more general terms, lawyers at this stage will check that:

• • the companies and/or assets being acquired accord with what the lenders are expecting;
• • the acquisition documents contain sufficient or typical contractual protections to protect the target group against unforeseen financial burdens; and
• • the acquisition documents deal with any key issues arising from disclosure and the due diligence process.
