Breakup Fee Sample Clauses
A Breakup Fee clause requires one party, typically the seller in a merger or acquisition, to pay a specified fee to the other party if the transaction is not completed under certain conditions, such as accepting a superior offer from a third party. This fee is usually a percentage of the deal value and is triggered if the seller backs out of the agreement or fails to meet closing conditions. The core function of this clause is to compensate the buyer for time and resources spent on the deal and to discourage parties from abandoning the agreement without good reason.
