About this document
Note: All Net Lawman company documents comply with the Companies Act 2013as amended.
This company purchase agreement is for a deal for part payment in shares of the buyer company and part in cash. There is also provision for an additional price to be paid if warranted profit is met in the current year. With the document, we have also included an example form of disclosure letter. This provides you a format as an indication of how a disclosure letter works and a style you could use. The wording can be added easily.
The document is intended primarily to protect the buyer, but it can also be used by the seller - to obtain a full understanding of what will be required and how to deal with issues which may arise in a future transaction.

IMPORTANT - Use a shareholder agreement too
As this deal entitles the seller to receive shares, immediately on completion of this agreement, the seller should enter into a shareholders' agreement with the existing shareholders of the buyer. All of the detailed control is best exercised through a shareholder agreement.

A word about warranties:
Warranties are the essence of the deal. Warranties protect the interest of the buyer, who does not have the information available to the seller. It is fair and reasonable for a buyer to demand warranties and for a seller to give them. However, it is quite easy for a buyer to use warranties to "improve" his original deal. So, if you are a seller . . . . do not give a warranty if you do not know whether it is true, but do be prepared to "go and find out" information that could be within your knowledge.
115 warranties sound an awful lot. Do you really need them? Will you understand them? Net Lawman advises; absolutely yes and absolutely yes! Our warranties are written in plain English. A seller should start with a full set unless he is sure he knows everything there is to know about his proposed acquisition, or the value is very small, or the company is not trading.
