FAQ
An asset purchase agreement or APA is a legally binding document that outlines the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale of some or all of a company's assets.
Potential issues with an Asset Sale A transfer of assets does not usually constitute a TUPE transaction as the sale of equipment, contracts, stock and WIP, goodwill etc takes place without a transfer of employees, liabilities and cash assets, debtors, creditors and bank debt/assets.
Once the basic terms of the asset sale are agreed, the buyer's solicitor will normally draft the contact of sale. These legal agreements are usually complex and will need to be reviewed by the seller and their solicitor and any amendments agreed between both parties.
TUPE applies in the transfer of a business or part of a business to another organisation, but not to acquisitions that simply involve a share purchase. TUPE requires that employees automatically transfer their existing terms and conditions, including collective bargaining agreements.
Provisions of an APA may include payment of purchase price, monthly installments, liens and encumbrances on the assets, condition precedent for the closing, etc. An APA differs from a stock purchase agreement (SPA) where company shares, title to assets, and title to liabilities are also sold.
These will include the purchase price, of course, and bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreements, intellectual property assignments, real property transfer documents and so on, as well as any legal opinions, employment agreements, escrow agreement and other ancillary documents.
When buying a business through a share takeover the TUPE regulations do not apply. This is because on the purchase of a company by way of a share, the legal identity of the company actually remains the same; it is just that the ownership of its share capital has changed hands.
TUPE protection When TUPE applies: the employees' jobs usually transfer over to the new company - exceptions could be if they're made redundant or in some cases where the business is insolvent. their employment terms and conditions transfer. continuity of employment is maintained.
In an asset sale, a buyer will purchase certain assets of the company but not the entire company, and non-unionized employees need not be kept on. For employees not being kept on or who choose not to sign on severance obligations arise for the vendor.
