Why use a ✒️ Underwriting agreement?

An underwriting agreement is a contract between a company and an investment bank in which the investment bank agrees to buy a set number of shares of the company's stock at a set price. The agreement also sets forth the investment bank's role in underwriting the stock offering, including its obligation to use its best efforts to sell the shares to investors.

This legal template is designed to outline the terms and conditions of a rights issue underwriting agreement under UK law. A rights issue is a corporate action that allows existing shareholders of a company to purchase additional shares at a discounted price, typically to raise additional capital.

The agreement sets forth the responsibilities and obligations of the underwriter, who is the financial institution or group of investors that guarantees the purchase of these additional shares in case they cannot be fully subscribed by existing shareholders. It covers various aspects such as the underwriter's commitment to buy the unsubscribed shares, the purchase price, payment terms, and any other relevant conditions.

The template will also include provisions related to the expiration dates, any potential allotments of shares, issuance of share certificates, regulatory compliance, and representations and warranties by both parties. It may also include indemnification clauses addressing potential legal risks associated with the rights issue.

Overall, this legal template aims to provide a concise summary of the underwriting agreement under UK law, ensuring that both parties involved have a clear understanding of their rights, obligations, and expectations throughout the rights issue process.

The "Underwriting Arrangement Mandate And Commitment Letter under UK law" is a legal template that outlines the terms and conditions of an underwriting arrangement between parties operating under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. This document serves as a written agreement specifying the roles, responsibilities, and obligations of both the underwriter and the issuer (usually a company) involved in a financial transaction, such as an initial public offering (IPO) or a debt issuance.

The template typically covers various aspects of the underwriting agreement, including the scope of the underwriter's mandate, the underwriting commitment, and the underwriting fees or compensation to be paid. Additionally, it may address the conditions under which the underwriter is expected to source potential investors, market the securities, and potentially purchase any unsold portion of the securities.

The letter may also detail other significant clauses relevant to the underwriting arrangement, such as termination provisions, representations and warranties, indemnification, confidentiality, dispute resolution mechanisms, and applicable legal jurisdiction.

By providing a standardized framework for underwriting agreements, this legal template ensures clarity, professionalism, and legal compliance for all parties involved, promoting a fair and transparent underwriting process under the UK legal system.
