The Simple Merger Agreement is designed for use in the Netherlands when two companies intend to combine their operations through a straightforward merger transaction. This document is particularly suitable when the merger structure is relatively uncomplicated and doesn't involve multiple jurisdictions or complex regulatory requirements. The agreement addresses all essential elements required under Dutch law, including corporate approvals, employee considerations, and competition aspects, while maintaining a more streamlined approach compared to complex cross-border mergers. A Simple Merger Agreement typically includes provisions for transfer of assets and liabilities, employee transitions, and necessary regulatory compliance, while being adaptable to various business sectors. It's structured to comply with Dutch Civil Code requirements and incorporates mandatory consultation procedures with works councils and trade unions where applicable.
