Document background
The Merger And Acquisition Agreement is a fundamental document used in corporate transactions under Belgian law when one company acquires another or when two companies merge their operations. This agreement is essential for transactions involving Belgian companies or Belgian subsidiaries of international corporations, requiring careful consideration of both Belgian corporate law and European Union regulations. The document typically includes detailed provisions on transaction structure, purchase price, representations and warranties, conditions precedent, and post-closing obligations. It must comply with the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, competition laws, and employment regulations, while also addressing specific Belgian requirements for notarial deeds in certain corporate transactions. The agreement serves as the primary transaction document, incorporating all material terms and conditions necessary for implementing the merger or acquisition.
