SEMI© M&A Project Roles Explained
This article explains the different Roles in M&A Projects and their required participants.
As M&A Transactions have 2 sides, there are also 2 types of Policies SEMI© can cover: Buyer-Side Policies and Seller-Side Policies.
The requirements and options within these 2 types of Policies will differ.
We identify Buyer-side Policies as Policies where the insured is the buyer, or on the Buyer-side of the transaction, and Seller-Side Policies as Policies where the insured is the seller, or on the seller-side of the Transaction. Even if you may be the Seller, or on the Seller-Side of the transaction, the Project as io.insure sees it may be for a Buyer-side Policy. This is because SEMI© Buyer-side policies involve the Buyer-side and the Seller-side, whereas SEMI© Seller-Side Policies only involve the Seller-side.
Please select below whether you are acting within a Buyer-side or Seller-side Policy.
A Buyer-side Policy is a Policy where the insured is the Buyer.
io.insure buyer-side policies currently require participants form both the buyer-side of the transaction and the seller-side of the transaction, the latter providing disclosure and the former due diligence.
These different actors within the project will be required to upload documents and fill forms in Stage 2 of the Project, further explained in the How to SEMI© Series
