This CLE course will examine the results of Nixon Peabody’s 2017 survey of key M&A indemnification deal terms, which is based on a review of 100 private target company acquisition agreements filed with the SEC between June 1, 2016 and Aug. 16, 2017, with a median transaction value of $250 million. The presenter will discuss the implications of the survey findings for deal counsel drafting and negotiating acquisition agreements.

Description

Indemnification clauses are often the most important risk allocation provisions in private company M&A transactions. Nixon Peabody’s recent survey of M&A indemnification deal terms in 100 publicly filed private target company acquisition agreements provides key insights into what is market when it comes to negotiating these critical provisions.

Key data points analyzed in the survey include survival periods, carve outs to the general survival period, materiality scrapes, indemnity baskets and caps, exclusions from indemnifiable damages, fundamental reps and warranties, net of insurance clauses, and sandbagging clauses.

Listen as attorney John C. Partigan of Nixon Peabody provides guidance to deal counsel for negotiating and drafting indemnification provisions in M&A deals based on the results of the firm’s recent survey of 100 private target company acquisition agreements publicly filed between June 1, 2016 and Aug. 16, 2017.
