Bloomberg (03/14/15) Michelle Jamrisko
The producer price index fell 0.1% in February, following a 0.2% increase in January, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A survey by Bloomberg had forecast a 0.2% increase. However, prices were restrained due to a 0.3% decline in the cost of services, the largest such decline in a year.
Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.
