The Merger Implementation Agreement is a crucial document used in German corporate merger transactions to formalize and execute the combination of two or more companies. It serves as the primary vehicle for implementing the merger process in accordance with German corporate law, particularly the Umwandlungsgesetz (Transformation Act). This document is typically prepared following initial negotiations and due diligence, often after a memorandum of understanding or binding term sheet has been signed. It contains detailed provisions for executing the merger, including asset transfers, employee transitions, regulatory compliance steps, and post-closing obligations. The agreement must address specific German legal requirements such as commercial register filings, notarization requirements, and works council consultation processes. It is particularly important in ensuring compliance with German corporate, employment, and tax laws while providing a clear roadmap for the merger implementation.
