Key Terms

sales and purchase agreement financial

A sales and purchase agreement is a written contract that sets out the specific terms for buying and selling assets, shares, or a business, including the price, what is transferred, payment schedule, and any conditions that must be met before the deal closes. Investors care because it creates binding promises that determine when ownership and risks change, possible future obligations or liabilities, and how the transaction will affect a company’s value and cash flows—like a recipe and checklist that decides whether and how a deal will actually happen.

MTPA technical

mtpa stands for million tonnes per annum and is a measure of how much material a facility or industry — such as mining, oil, gas, chemicals, or cement — can produce in one year. Investors care because it quantifies production capacity like a factory’s hourly output, which helps estimate potential revenue, assess supply impact on prices, and compare scale between projects or companies.

offtake financial

An offtake is a contract where a buyer commits in advance to purchase a company’s future output—such as raw materials, energy or finished goods—often at agreed volumes and prices. For investors, an offtake provides predictable revenue and lowers the risk that production will go unsold, similar to a long-term subscription or pre-order that helps a factory or mine secure funding and plan operations with greater confidence.
