The Buyback Agreement serves as a critical instrument in Nigerian commercial transactions where parties wish to establish a legal framework for the repurchase of previously sold assets, securities, or goods. This document type is commonly used in various scenarios, including share repurchases by companies, commodity trading, and financial institutions' repurchase agreements (repos). The agreement must comply with Nigerian legislation, particularly the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, Investment and Securities Act 2007, and relevant Central Bank of Nigeria regulations. It typically includes detailed provisions on pricing, timing, conditions, regulatory approvals, and completion mechanics, making it essential for both routine commercial transactions and complex corporate arrangements in the Nigerian market.
