Absence of Certain Changes, Events and Conditions Sample Clauses

The "Absence of Certain Changes, Events and Conditions" clause requires that, between a specified date (often the signing of an agreement) and the closing of a transaction, the target company has not experienced significant adverse changes or engaged in unusual activities. In practice, this means the company must continue operating in the ordinary course of business and avoid actions such as incurring new debt, selling major assets, or making large expenditures without the buyer's consent. This clause serves to protect the buyer by ensuring the company remains in substantially the same condition as when the deal was negotiated, thereby preventing unexpected risks or value erosion before the transaction is finalized.
