This month we completed an interesting M&A transaction for a marine sector client. Our client acquired a competitor in a merger arrangement. We assisted our client and its accountants reorganise our client’s business by way of share transfers and inter-group loans, before acquiring the competitor business for cash and consideration shares in our client’s parent. As well as the share transfer and company loan arrangements, we negotiated and prepared the Share Purchase Agreement, the replacement Shareholder Agreement and employment terms for the seller shareholder.
