ICC MODEL CONTRACTS SERIES

ICC Model Mergers & Acquisitions Contract (I – Share Purchase Agreement) (with CD-ROM)

This is the first in a series of models of ICC international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) agreements. M&A agreements regard, broadly speaking, the transfer of a company or a business and cover a variety of contracts. This first model is a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) in its simplest form – i.e. the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of one company. It is conceived for the purpose of assisting parties and lawyers who are not specialized in the field of M&A contracts to draft a simple contract covering the most common issues involved.

ICC Model Contract for the Turnkey Supply of an Industrial Plant (with CD-ROM) Covers the type of turnkey contract that is limited to the plant or production line and does not extend to items which “surround” the plant, such as buildings, supply of energy, etc. Turnkey contracts take a range of forms and at present no single model contract covers them all. This ICC model has special characteristics: the supplier’s main obligation is to supply the equipment and assist the purchaser during erection and start-up; the supplier performs its obligations within facilities that are under the purchaser’s control; this model contract is generally governed by the rules on sale contracts. The contract takes account of these specifics and contains enough flexibility for the parties to work out special situations for themselves.

ICC Model Distributorship Contract (Sole Importer-Distributor)

2nd edition (with CD-ROM)

Distributorship contracts are one of the most frequently used means for organizing the distribution of goods in a foreign country. Almost every company engaged in international trade has at least some agents abroad and so most exporters will at some stage be faced with drafting an international distributorship agreement. The revised edition takes into account important changes since the publication of the first model, particularly concerning the EC antitrust rules on vertical restraints, and the need to harmonize with the ICC Short Form Model Contract, published in 2001 (ICC Publication no. 518).
