Employee and Benefits Deal Document Provisions Checklist


Summary

This checklist sets forth and describes provisions commonly found in asset purchase, stock purchase, and merger agreements that deal with matters concerning the employees, employee benefit plans, and equity-based compensation awards relating to the target business. The checklist is organized in three parts: (1) representations and warranties, (2) covenants, and (3) equity award-related provisions. The extent to which these provisions are necessary or appropriate will vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the deal.
