Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Revised Draft of Merger Agreement — Sample Letter Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss the revised draft of the merger agreement between our respective companies, as discussed during our recent negotiations. This letter aims to provide a detailed description and address important aspects of the revised merger agreement. Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation for your team's efforts in compiling the revised draft. The comprehensive and well-structured document showcases a clear understanding of the strategic initiatives and synergies our companies can achieve by merging. However, I would like to highlight a few key areas that require further discussion and clarification before reaching a final agreement. 1. Merger Objectives: The revised draft adequately outlines the primary objectives behind the proposed merger. However, it would be beneficial to provide a more detailed rationale for each objective, emphasizing the potential benefits and long-term strategic value for both companies involved. 2. Merger Consideration and Pricing: While the revised draft briefly mentions the proposed consideration and pricing structure, it would greatly assist our deliberations if you could provide more specifics regarding the valuation methodologies used to determine the proposed price per share, including any underlying assumptions and comparable transaction analyses. 3. Merger Governance and Structure: It is crucial to establish a robust governance framework that ensures a fair and transparent decision-making process during and after the merger. I suggest including a section within the draft that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and authorities of the merged entity's board of directors, executive officers, and any relevant committees. 4. Post-Merger Integration: To facilitate a smooth post-merger integration process, it would be helpful to include a dedicated section or appendix in the draft agreement that outlines the anticipated timeline, responsibilities, and key milestones for integration. An overview of the integration plan should include details on merging operational systems, harmonizing corporate cultures, and achieving synergy targets. 5. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure: Given the sensitive nature of our discussions, and to protect both parties' interests, I recommend incorporating a robust confidentiality and non-disclosure section. This section should address the treatment of any non-public information shared during negotiations and prohibit the disclosure of such information to third parties, except where legally required. I believe that adequately addressing these key areas will significantly enhance the draft merger agreement and bring us closer to finalizing a mutually beneficial deal. I suggest scheduling a follow-up meeting or conference call with our respective legal teams to discuss these points in more detail. Please let me know your availability in the next week to schedule a meeting or call. I genuinely appreciate your attention to this matter and value the collaborative effort we have put into this merger agreement thus far. Thank you for your continued cooperation, and I look forward to our next discussion. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Designation] [Your Company Name]
