What information matters in M&A transaction?



Nowadays, in the field of business and investment, the term “Merger and Acquisition” (M&A) is a very common term.

How to Protect Business Secrets through Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)



In business or production process, individual or organization being may have to share its business secrets with others. Legal solution for this situation is to enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement agreement (NDA).


Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) are often used by inventors or companies when sharing business ideas, sample products which have just been created, patent and many other business secrets. This disclosure’s purpose is to explore the possibilities to cooperate, manufacture; to commercialize a particular product in relation to another company when seeking licensing contracts, financial source to develop a product; to deploy a business secret, to enter into a Merger and Acquisition transactions, or to create binding obligations on employees if they know or are known secrets of the company they are working for.

What does the content of the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) include?

NDA should begin with a clear statement of who the owner’s non-disclosed information is (owner); party who receives non-disclosed information (recipient); identify non-disclosed information and the reason for disclosing such information to the recipient. The most important thing of NDA is to identify the scope of non-disclosed information or confidential information to avoid the parties in dispute if one party discloses certain information. Another thing to keep in mind is that the NDA can achieve the purpose of the parties when stipulating clearly how the recipient has to protect that information and what is allowed or not allowed to do with that information. In particular, it is necessary to detail that the recipient has to take responsibilities if they violate the information security obligations specified in the NDA.

Besides, the parties may agree to a reciprocal NDA. Sometimes, the source of information is two-ways, both parties will then disclose confidential information to each other, for example when the two parties form a joint venture, or have intention of acquiring the target company through M&A. Accordingly, NDA will refer to the agreement of formation a joint venture, M&A which clearly states that which confidential information two parties will share, what are the rights and obligations of the two parties.

Of course, the best way to keep a secret is to not tell anyone. However, this is not always possible in the collaboration world when shared economy is thriving in Vietnam. If the owner needs to share business secrets, they could sign with the recipient an non-disclosure agreement or contract to avoid unfortunate circumstances.

Lawyers at ANT Lawyers could help clients to create NDA in various business transactions in M&A, joint venture, IP commercialization, labour to address the needs of business requirements in Vietnam.

Mergers and acquisitions



Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is an activity that takes control of a business through owning part or all of that business. This is the term for a merger, consolidation or acquisition between two or more businesses together. In Vietnam, the system of legal documents does not have the concept of mergers and acquisitions, this is the commercial term. In legal terms, this term is understood to include activities of consolidation, merger and acquisition of enterprises, specifically:

Merger of an enterprise is the transfer of all of its lawful assets, rights, obligations and interests to another enterprise and at the same time terminating its business or its existence. The acquirer company still exists and inherits all assets, rights and obligations of the acquired companies.

Consolidation of enterprises means that two or more enterprises transfer their entire properties, rights, obligations and lawful interests to a new enterprise and at the same time, consolidating companies shall cease to exist.

Acquisition of an enterprise is a activity that an enterprise directly or indirectly acquires all or part of the capital and assets of another enterprise sufficient to control and dominate the enterprise or a business line of the acquired enterprise. Acquired enterprise still exist, only changing the enterprise structure.

M&A always requires strict legal compliance with both acquired and acquirer enterprise. Under Vietnamese law, merger, consolidation and acquisition are one of the forms of economic concentration. Recently, economic concentration is the legal acts which have been implemented quite popular in Vietnam. Along with the positive effects, this activity also has the potential to affect competition in the market. Therefore, the merger activity is not only governed by the Enterprise Law but also regulated by the Competition Law. The current Competition Law has amended and prohibited businesses to implement economic concentration that has an impact or is likely to cause significant anti-competitive effects on the Vietnamese market.

On the economic side, the economic concentration will reduce competition (because competitors cooperate with each other and the market access becomes difficult) and distort the market leading to damage to consumers. Stemming from the need to control economic concentration activities to avoid the formation of large enterprises with the power to control the market and unfair competition, create conditions for new businesses to join in market, Competition Law creates a legal corridor that allows state management agencies to control economic concentration activities, and accordingly adjust M&A activities.

Each M & A form has governed by its own legal provisions. Therefore, before conducting any M&A activity, investors need to carefully understand the provisions of the law to best protect their rights and interests in accordance with the provisions of law.

M&A Due Diligence and Execution in Vietnam



Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activities in Vietnam have been rapidly increasing over the the years in value and number of transactions when Vietnam’s opening policies to attract foreign investments loosen up. The M&A due diligence and execution are therefore important steps to ensure a successful transaction.

For foreign investors wishing to take advantage with a certain level of risks in Vietnam where the cost of labour are cheap, mid-income populations are growing, and the need of capital are high, it is imporatant to find the right target companies to invest. Challenges might arise when approaching the right local companies, locating the right decision makers within the local companies, encountering differences in languages and cultures.

It is imporant that the local consultants with the understanding of the business and legal environment in Vietnam where the local companies are incorporated could be involved at an initial stage to monitor and minimize the risks, improve the effectiveness of the M&A process in Vietnam.

The Vietnam consulting company could also provide corporate intelligence and insights of the Vietnam targeted companies to have an overall evaluation of the compliance of the Vietnam companies, possible risks involved and growth potential. Financial forensic services might also be needed before other further steps. Then, the following will need to be considered when undertaking the M&A in Vietnam.

+Due diligence

M&A due diligence in Vietnam is a vital step because it determines whether the M&A will succeed or not. There are some aspects that must be carefully considered:

-Financial reports

Review all the financial reports of the Vietnam targeted companies within 3 to 5 years to assess the current and future financial situation. These data needs to be audited by a reputable independent auditing company. Evaluating financial situation targets on many aspects such as the reasonable connection between the financial statements, operating and sales margin of the business in relation to the average in that industry. These data allow valuation real value of the target business.

-The cash flow

Checking the dates on invoices showing that whether targeted businesses have paid promptly or not. Term of payment may vary from industry to industry, but generally 30 to 60 days. If the money order is paid after the billing date period of 90 days or more, it means that the business owner may be struggling with cash flow. Finding out that if the clients’ inability to pay bills or not is very important.

-The staff

Determining the importance of staff for the success of the business considering work habits of employees, working time of key employees; ability to remain working after a change of the owner occurs; the incentives necessary to keep key employees; ability to easily replace key employees; the relationship of key employees with the company’s customers.

-The customers

This is the most important assets of the Vietnam targeted company. Make sure that clients are as the other tangible assets of the business. Evaluating customers on some primary aspects: the relationship with the current owner of the business, customer history with business relations and the contribution of each customer to the profits of the company; assessing that customer will leave or stay when the business having new owners; customer services and dispute of the company, the relationship of the former owner of the business with the community or the industry.

-Business location

This is especially important if the targeted company is a retail company. Does the importance of business location play a crucial role for the success of the company? How is the location of the company you plan to acquire? Is there sufficient parking lot for customers? How does the company depend on sales in the region? How is the prospects of the business in this area? Does this place have been in the process of rapid change from new residential district office building or not? Has business location become more or less desirable because of contemplated changes in surrounding area or not?

-Competitors

Considering this aspect in order to define the capacity of the targeted business in the industry, the following questions would help: who are its competitor and what are their strategies? Does the price war happen frequently? How has the competitive environment changed?

-Business registration, permits and zoning

It’s necessary to make sure that business registration certificate and other legal documents can be easily given to the buyer. It would be better to acknowledge the procedures to transfer these documents and its fee with the help of local management set up company in Vietnam. If the targeted company is a joint-stocks company, what is the procedure for the business registration? Can foreigners own the company 100% according to Vietnam laws? Conditional investments in Vietnam need to be considered carefully by lawyers in Vietnam to avoid mishaps.

-The company image

Company image can be a significant asset and that cannot be assessed in the financial report. There are many intangible factors to consider when evaluating a company: how to serve customers, how employees answer the phone and the level of support the community or the industry.

+Negotiate the price

It is important to understand the purpose and motivation of both parties. The sellers’ motivation are formed and affected by value drivers. There are two main value drivers which are approach value and avoidance value. Approach value is our purpose such as prosperity and avoidance value is the negative effect that we need to eliminate. Normally, the buyers try to find out what are the reasons why the owner wish to sell the companies. This will help the buyers plan a reasonable strategy beforehand.

A research analyzes the general aspects that the buyers seeking for via conducting surveys companies’ owner who have sold or transformed their enterprises. The research results are focus on profit maximization (79%), minimization of tax payable (73%), protection of viability of the company (71%)…(Source: Acquisition Marketplace Review, 2007).

The motivation of the buyer in most cases is similar to the motivation of the seller, which is to maximize profits, expand markets, increase revenue, operating areas, areas of activity, minimize taxes…

The Valid Transfer Date of Member or Shareholder Rights of Buyer Arising from M&A



The specific time for transferring ownership right of asset is very important in all contracts. This time affects the lawful rights and obligations of not only seller, purchaser but also of the third party.

The most-important principal of civil law is the recognition and respect of agreement between the related parties. It means that the parties may freely decide the specific time for transferring ownership rights. Nonetheless, in some special case such as M&A contract, the specific time is not under the decision of parties.

In legal term of Vietnam, M&A is deemed as similar to split-off, split-up, merger, acquisition of an enterprise, contributing capital to existing enterprise, and purchasing contributed capital of member or shareholder of existing enterprise.

When is the transfer of member or shareholder rights of buyer come into effect in cases of split-off, split-up, merger and consolidations, acquisition?

The Law on Enterprise 2014 provides the definition for each type as follows:

For splitting up enterprise:

“Article 192. Split-up


The splitted-up company shall cease to exist after the new companies are granted Enterprise Business Registration. The new companies are jointly responsible for the unpaid debts, labor contracts, and other liabilities of the splitted-up company, or reach an agreement with the creditors, customers, and employees to decide on one of the new companies to settle such obligations.”

For splitting off enterprise:

“Article 193. Split-off


After business registration, the splitted-off company and new companies are jointly responsible for the unpaid debts, labor contracts, and other liabilities of the splitted-off company, unless otherwise agreed among the splitted-off company, new companies, the splitted-off company’s creditors, customers, and employees.

For merger and consolidations of enterprise:

“Article 193. Consolidation


After business registration, the consolidated companies shall cease to exist; the new company shall take over the lawful rights and interests as well as unpaid debts, labor contract, and other liabilities of the consolidated companies.”

For acquisition of company:

“Article 195. Acquisition


Procedures for acquisition:


c) After business registration, the acquired companies shall cease to exist; the acquirer shall take over the lawful rights and interests as well as unpaid debts, employment contract, and other liabilities of the acquired companies.”

The above regulations of laws have determined the specific time for ceasing survival, transferring rights and obligations from old entity(ies) to new entity(ies) after split-off, split-up, merger and consolidations, acquisition. This time is specified after completing the legal procedures at competent state authorities.

After being granted an enterprise registration certificate or carrying out business adjustment and registration procedures, the new entity(ies) must (jointly) be responsible for: unpaid debts, labor contracts, and other liabilities, and the old entity(ies) will either cease to exist or still exist with smaller or bigger business. Accordingly, although the buyer and the seller (called collectively the parties participating M&A) have signed a M&A contract which has been agreed to take effect before the completion of legal procedures at state authorities, the buyer has not had any legitimate right yet to the seller. The M&A contract is one of the necessary documents submitted to state authorities to proceed the next legal procedures.

When is the transfer of member or shareholder rights of buyer come into effect in cases of contributing capital to existing enterprise, purchasing contributed capital of member or shareholder of existing enterprise?

The purpose of M&A is to gain control and dominance right of all or part of seller, not merely owning part of the capital or shares of the enterprise as a normal investment activity. With these cases, no new entity is established and no old entity is ceased to exist. The enterprise, after contributing capital or purchasing contributed capital, may have a change in the capital contribution ratio or keep it unchanged, but the information of members and shareholders of the enterprise shall be modified. The Law on Enterprise recognizes the rights of only members of limited liability companies and shareholder of joint stock companies but does not prescribe legal status before becoming a member or shareholder.

When is investor recognized as a legitimate member, shareholder to get the rights and obligations that the law stipulates?

The contribution of sufficient capital as committed is not a decisive factor in being entitled the right of member or shareholder. As well as notifying to the competent authorities is uncertain to generate member and shareholder right. Nevertheless, the Enterprise Law has uniform provisions on this issue as follows:

For joint stock company:


Contributing capital:

“Article 124. Offering of shares to existing shareholders


In case the amount of offered shares are not completely purchased by shareholders and recipients the preemptive right, the Board of Directors is entitled to sell the remaining authorized shares to shareholders of the company or other people in a reasonable manner and conditions that are not more convenient than the conditions offered to shareholders, unless otherwise accepted by the General Meeting of Shareholders or shares are sold via a Stock Exchange.


Shares are considered as sold when they are fully paid and information about the purchaser mentioned in Article 121.2 hereof are fully written in the shareholder registration book; from this time, the purchaser shall be come a shareholder of the company.”


Purchasing contributed capital:

“Article 126. Share transfer


Recipients of shares in the cases mentioned in this Article shall only become the company’s shareholders from the day on which their information mentioned in Article 121.2 hereof are fully recorded in the shareholder registration book.”

For limited liability company:


Purchasing contributed capital:

“Article 53. Transferring contributed capital


The transferring member still has the rights and obligations to the company in proportion to his/her capital until information about the buy mentioned in Article 49.1.(b), (c) and (d) hereof is written on the member registration book.”

Accordingly, when the information of buyer is recorded in member/shareholder registration book, the buyer will officially have the legal rights for members and shareholders. The next legal procedures are intended to notify the competent authority and amend the enterprise registration certificate. The most important content of the registration book is the total amount of contributed capital of each member or shareholder. This is evidence for the ownership in limited liability companies and joint stock companies. For a limited liability company, both registration book and enterprise registration certificate are two proofs of ownership right of the member. However, for joint stock company, only registration book is evidence on shareholder’s ownership right. This is the reason showing important role of registration book.

Depending on each M&A form, the buyer and the seller should attend to the time of termination and generation of legitimate rights and interests, obligations and responsibilities as members and shareholders. M&A aims to purchase and sell a special asset, which is property or capital of an enterprise. With the special assets, the regulation of laws may stipulate strictly depending on case by case which it is suggested the parties consult with law firm in M&A in Vietnam to receive advice.

Handling Labour Matters in Post M&A Transaction



While undertaking M&A transaction, the buyer may face legal risks regarding license, assets, compliance, including labor matters. One of the challenges of the buyer post M&A is the integration of the labour force into the new structure while ensuring rights and interests of their existing employee complying with the laws.

When negotiating a deal, the buyer and target company may try to retain the advantage combining the strengths of both side. However, it’s challenging to just merely add personnel of the existing of departments with same functions together and group them under i.e. administration departments, sales department, accounting department…Further, one of the benefits of M&A is to improve the effectiveness of the operation through managing the similar scale of the combined business with less resources. Therefore, the re-arrangement of personnel is required and therefore conflicts will have to be managed between employees and employer.

Pursuant to Article 45 of Labor Code: in case of merging, consolidating, splitting or separating an enterprise, the successive employer shall continue employing the existing workforce and modify and supplement their labor contracts; if the existing workforce cannot be fully employed, the successive employer shall prepare a suitable labour plan and implement a labor utilization plan. In case of transferring asset ownership or use rights of an enterprise, the preceding employer shall have to prepare a labor utilization plan.

The labor utilization plan shall have the following contents: the lists and numbers of workforce to be continued employment and workforce to be re-trained for continued employment; the list and number of employees to be retired; the lists and numbers of employees to be assigned part-time jobs and those to terminate their labor contracts; measures and financial sources for implementing the plan. This is responsibility of the employer when the business arise change which greatly affects employee.

Regarding dismissed employee, the employer shall pay a job-loss allowance to the employee who has worked regularly for the employer for 12 months or longer. The job-loss allowance is equal to 1 month of salary for each working year, but must not be lower than 2 months of salary. The working period used for the calculation of job-loss allowance is the total time during which the employee actually works for the employer minus the time during which the employee benefits from unemployment insurance in accordance with the Law of Social Insurance and the working period for which the employer has paid a severance allowance to the employee.

It is important that the seller to retain M&A law firm to assist with the post M&A process to ensure the labour compliance is followed during the integration of labour resources.
