Deal Structure
The financial and legal framework within which the acquisition is executed, including payment terms, legal entity considerations, and tax implications.
Implications
The specific arrangement of terms, conditions, and financing for a business transaction, such as an acquisition, merger, or investment, often tailored to meet the strategic and financial goals of the parties involved.
Example
Example: A private equity firm negotiates a deal structure for acquiring a manufacturing company that includes earn-outs based on future performance, ensuring alignment of interests between the buyer and seller.
Related Terms
Different from deal terms, which specify the details of the agreement, the structure refers to the overall framework and how the transaction will be executed and financed.
