Other Acquisition Proposals Clause Samples
The "Other Acquisition Proposals" clause defines how a party must handle and disclose any alternative offers or proposals to acquire the company or its assets during the term of an agreement. Typically, this clause requires the seller to promptly notify the buyer if it receives competing acquisition proposals and may restrict the seller from soliciting or negotiating with other potential buyers. Its core function is to protect the buyer’s interests by ensuring transparency and exclusivity, thereby reducing the risk of the seller accepting a competing offer during the negotiation period.
