Document background
The Confidentiality Agreement Mergers And Acquisitions document is essential in the Indian M&A landscape where protection of sensitive business information is crucial during transaction exploration and due diligence. It serves as a critical preliminary agreement before detailed M&A negotiations commence, ensuring that confidential information shared during the evaluation process remains protected under Indian law. The agreement is particularly important given India's evolving corporate environment and increasing cross-border transactions, incorporating provisions that comply with both the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI regulations for listed entities. This document is typically executed as the first step in M&A discussions, before any detailed financial or operational information is shared between parties.
