The Company Merger Agreement is a crucial document used when two or more companies in Hong Kong decide to combine their businesses into a single entity. This agreement is essential for transactions structured as mergers under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and must comply with Hong Kong regulatory requirements, including those related to competition law, securities regulations (for listed companies), and employment protection. The document typically includes detailed provisions covering asset transfers, share exchanges, employee transitions, and operational integration. It is commonly used in both private and public company mergers, corporate restructurings, and group reorganizations, requiring careful consideration of Hong Kong's legal and regulatory framework.
