Buy-Sell Agreements, Part 1 and Part 2
 
 
Program Description:
 
There is rarely a liquid market for the sale or exchange of ownership interests in even successful closely-held companies.  Buy/sell agreements, however, create a market among the owners of a company, providing a mechanism for a shareholder or member to liquidate his or her interests in a reliable manner. The owners may agree to buy and sell interests among themselves on the occurrence of certain events and using certain valuation metrics, or they may agree that the company itself will buy out a shareholder or member's interest over time.  Without these agreements, there is often no alternative for a shareholder or member to cash out short of liquidating the company. This program will provide you with a practical guide to the different types of buy/sell agreements, drafting the essential provisions of each, and common negotiating and drafting tips.
 
Day 1 - June 21, 2016:
 
  • Types of buy/sell agreements - cross-purchase among owners, entity redemption, and hybrid approaches

  • Triggering events - voluntary sale, retirement, death, bankruptcy of shareholder or member

  • Funding buy/sell arrangements  - payouts/earnouts over time, commercial borrowing, key-man insurance, other funding sources
