The Merger Implementation Agreement is a crucial document used in Nigerian corporate transactions to formalize and execute the combination of two or more companies. It serves as the primary agreement governing how a merger will be carried out, ensuring compliance with Nigerian regulatory requirements, particularly under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 and the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020. This document is essential when companies are pursuing a merger that requires detailed implementation steps, regulatory approvals, and specific completion mechanics. It typically includes comprehensive provisions on pre-completion obligations, conditions precedent, completion requirements, warranties, and post-merger integration procedures. The agreement is particularly important in the Nigerian context where regulatory oversight of mergers is significant and multiple government agencies may need to approve the transaction.
