Mergers & Acquisitions

We offer a range of Escrow services to support M&A transactions around the globe, including Holdback Escrows, Good Faith Deposits and Paying Agent Services.

Holdback Escrows

To mitigate transaction risk, FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS offers Holdback accounts, enabling clients to place a portion of the purchase price in escrow until the terms of an agreement are satisfied. Holdbacks offer a way for the buyer to seek claims for false representations or breaches of warranty. FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS will manage all claims on the account in accordance with the agreement terms.

 

Good Faith Deposits

FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS offers Good Faith Deposits, which hold a portion of the transaction purchase price in escrow to help buyers and sellers facilitate bidding and comply with regulations. FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS can also distribute termination fees from the escrow funds if the transaction is cancelled.

 

Takeover Codes for Global M&A

Regulations in certain jurisdictions – such as the Takeover Codes of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom – require confirmation from the advisor in an M&A deal that resources are available to move the transaction forward. FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS provides the financial advisor the assurance that funds will be available and segregated throughout the duration of the offer.    

 

Closing Agent/Paying Agent

FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS offers buyers escrow accounts for deposit of the full transaction purchase price to centralize funding sources and hold liquid funds before closing. We also provide a variety of services to facilitate the transaction:

Closing Agent escrows – These escrows facilitate the exchange of the company stock from the seller for cash payments from the buyer.

Paying Agent services – FINANCE LEASING SOLUTIONS disburses funds to the selling shareholders directly from an escrow account. We can efficiently manage all aspects of the process, from inspecting presentations and share certificates, to resolving issues and promptly paying shareholders.
