yhdistymissopimuksessa

In Finnish corporate practice, yhdistymissopimuksessa refers to a merger agreement, a contract between two or more parties to combine their businesses, assets and liabilities. The agreement outlines the framework for a reorganization that may result in a new entity or in one party absorbing another.

A typical yhdistymissopimuksessa covers key elements such as the identity of the parties, the purpose and structure of the transaction, and the form of consideration (for example, an exchange of shares). It also describes the scope of assets and liabilities being transferred, how contracts and employees will be treated, and how post‑closing governance and ownership will be arranged. The document includes representations and warranties from the parties, covenants and undertakings (for example, conduct before closing, exclusivity, and information rights), and the conditions precedent to closing (such as regulatory and shareholder approvals, due diligence findings, and regulatory clearances). It sets out termination rights, remedies for breach, liability limits, and the consequences of termination.

The pursuit of a yhdistymissopimuksessa is typically part of a broader process that may involve a merger plan, due diligence, negotiations, and regulatory reviews. Legal considerations include applicable corporate law, competition law, and disclosure obligations, as well as confidentiality and dispute resolution provisions. The term is used to identify the specific terms and obligations described within the merger agreement and to frame the parties’ rights and responsibilities during and after the transaction.
