The Agreement and Plan of Merger serves as the foundational document for corporate merger transactions in the United States. This agreement is essential when companies seek to combine their operations through a merger, whether structured as a direct merger, forward triangular merger, or reverse triangular merger. The document addresses crucial aspects such as transaction structure, purchase price, representations and warranties, closing conditions, and post-closing obligations. It must comply with federal securities laws, state corporation laws, and relevant regulatory requirements. The agreement is particularly important for ensuring proper documentation of the merger terms and protecting the interests of all parties involved.
