Document background
The Reverse Triangular Merger Agreement is a sophisticated transaction document used in German corporate acquisitions where the acquiring company wishes to maintain the target company's separate legal existence while gaining full control. This structure is particularly useful when the target company has valuable contracts, licenses, or permits that might be disturbed by a direct merger. The agreement must comply with the German Transformation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz) and includes detailed provisions for corporate approvals, share exchanges, employee protection, and regulatory compliance. It is commonly used in situations where preserving the target's corporate identity is crucial, while ensuring the acquiring company achieves full ownership and control. The document includes comprehensive representations and warranties, conditions precedent, and detailed mechanisms for implementation under German law.
