The Asset Acquisition Agreement is a fundamental transaction document used in Hong Kong for the purchase and sale of specific assets, rather than shares in a company. It is particularly relevant when a buyer wishes to acquire specific business assets while leaving behind certain liabilities or unwanted assets. The agreement, governed by Hong Kong law, must comply with various ordinances including the Contracts Ordinance (Cap. 23) and specific regulations depending on the asset type. It typically covers detailed asset descriptions, purchase price mechanisms, conditions precedent, completion arrangements, warranties, and post-completion obligations. The document is essential for transactions ranging from simple asset transfers to complex business acquisitions, requiring careful consideration of Hong Kong's legal and regulatory requirements, particularly regarding property transfer, employment issues, and tax implications.
