Interim Operating Covenants Clause Samples
Interim Operating Covenants are provisions that set rules and restrictions on how a business must be managed between the signing of a transaction agreement and the closing of the deal. Typically, these covenants require the seller to operate the business in the ordinary course, refrain from making significant changes, or seek the buyer’s consent for major decisions such as new debt, asset sales, or large expenditures. Their core practical function is to preserve the value and condition of the business during the interim period, ensuring that the buyer receives the company in substantially the same state as when the agreement was signed.
