The Share for Share Exchange Agreement is a crucial document used in corporate restructuring, mergers, and acquisitions under Danish law. It is typically employed when companies wish to combine their businesses or create a holding company structure through a share-for-share exchange rather than a cash transaction. The agreement details the terms and conditions of the exchange, including the exchange ratio, representations and warranties, conditions precedent, and completion mechanics. It must comply with Danish corporate law requirements, particularly the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven), as well as relevant securities, tax, and competition laws. This document is essential for transactions where companies seek to maintain shareholder value while achieving strategic objectives such as market expansion, vertical integration, or operational synergies.
