The Merger And Acquisition Agreement serves as the primary transaction document for corporate combinations and takeovers in Malaysia. It is essential for structuring and documenting complex business transactions where one company acquires another or where two companies merge their operations. The agreement must comply with Malaysian regulatory requirements, including those set by the Companies Act 2016, Securities Commission, and Competition Commission. It typically includes detailed provisions on transaction structure, purchase price mechanisms, conditions precedent, warranties and representations, employee matters, and post-completion obligations. This document is crucial for both domestic and cross-border transactions involving Malaysian entities, requiring careful consideration of local corporate laws, foreign investment restrictions, and industry-specific regulations.
