Key Terms

stock purchase agreement, holdback, indemnification obligations, other acquisition or disposition

4 terms

stock purchase agreement financial

"subject to a holdback pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement"

A stock purchase agreement is a legal contract that sets the terms for buying or selling shares, specifying the price, number of shares, how payment is made, and any conditions or promises each side must meet. It matters to investors because it defines who owns what, when ownership changes, and what protections or obligations attach to the deal—think of it as a detailed receipt plus the house rules that determine the financial risks and benefits of the transaction.

holdback financial

"208,866 shares of the Issuer's common stock that were previously subject to a holdback"

indemnification obligations financial

"subject to the cancellation of such shares in connection with the satisfaction of any indemnification obligations under the SPA"

A company's indemnification obligations are promises it has made to cover certain losses, legal costs, or damages that another party might suffer because of the company’s actions or events tied to a deal. Think of it like a guarantee or built-in insurance: if something goes wrong, the company must step in and pay. For investors this matters because these potential payouts create contingent liabilities that can reduce cash, raise legal exposure, and affect a company’s value and risk profile.

other acquisition or disposition financial
