Transaction Bonus Agreement

"I need a Transaction Bonus Agreement for our CFO linked to our upcoming IPO in March 2025, with a bonus payment of £500,000 subject to successful completion and a 12-month retention period."

Document background
Transaction Bonus Agreements are commonly used in England and Wales to incentivize key employees during significant corporate events. These agreements are particularly important when retaining crucial talent through mergers, acquisitions, or other corporate transactions. A Transaction Bonus Agreement typically details the specific conditions that trigger the bonus payment, calculation methods, payment timing, and any continuing obligations. The document serves to provide clarity and certainty for both employer and employee while ensuring compliance with UK employment law, tax regulations, and corporate governance requirements.
