How is Quity defined in a legal contract?
- Quity means the difference obtained when total liabilities are subtracted from total assets, and this calculation is done according to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Seen in 2 SEC filings
- Indebtedness means any obligation, on a consolidated basis, of a person for borrowed money. This includes the complete principal amount of convertible debt, notwithstanding its presentation under GAAP. This might be any obligation related to the acquisition of property, assets or businesses and the deferred purchase price of property or any capital lease obligation. This term also covers obligations of a similar type of another person, which such person has guaranteed or for which such person is liable or responsible, provided that an obligation will only constitute Indebtedness if it would look like a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of such a person in accordance with GAAP.
