Appendix 2
Purchase Price Adjustment Calculation
1. | Purchase Price Dispute Resolution |
1.1. | Where a dispute relating to the calculation of the Purchase Price, 2021 Price, (the “Price Dispute”) is referred to the Reporting Accountants, the Reporting Accountant’s determination in accordance with this Paragraph 2 shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall be deemed to be Agreed. |
1.2. | The Reporting Accountants shall be engaged by the Seller and the Purchaser on the terms set out in this Appendix 2 and otherwise on such terms as shall be agreed between the Seller, the Purchaser and the Reporting Accountants. The Seller, its accountants and, if appointed, the Reporting Accountants shall be granted reasonable access, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice, to the books and records of the Companies and any other information of the Purchaser and its Affiliates which may reasonably be required to enable them to agree and/or determine the Price Dispute. The Seller, its accountants and the Reporting Accountants shall have the right to take copies of any documents that they reasonably require and shall have access to the relevant personnel of the Purchaser and its Affiliate as they reasonably require in order to enable them to determine and/or agree the Price Dispute. |
1.3. | The Reporting Accountants shall determine their own procedure, subject to the following: |
(a) | the Purchaser, the Seller and/or their respective accountants shall each promptly, (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days of a relevant appointment) submit a written statement on the matters in dispute (together with relevant supporting documents) to the Reporting Accountants for determination and deliver a copy of such written statement and supporting documents to the other party; |
(b) | following delivery of their respective submissions, the Purchaser and the Seller shall have the opportunity to comment once only (provided that nothing in this sub-paragraph shall prevent the parties from responding to any requests from the Reporting Accountants under paragraph 2.1) on the other party’s submissions by written comment delivered to the Reporting Accountants not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the written statement was first submitted to the Reporting Accountants and copied to the other party pursuant to paragraph 2.3(a); |
(c) | apart from procedural matters and/or as otherwise set out in this Agreement, the Reporting Accountants shall determine only: |
(i) | whether any of the arguments for an alteration to the relevant management accounts and/or the calculation of the Purchase Price put forward in the written statements submitted under paragraph 2.3(a) is correct in whole or in part; and |
30
(ii) | if so, what alterations should be made to the relevant management accounts and/or the calculation of the Purchase Price in order to correct the relevant inaccuracy in it; |
(d) | the Reporting Accountants shall make their determination pursuant to paragraph 2.3(e) within twenty (20) Business Days of the expiry of the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to in paragraph 2.3(b) or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible and such determination shall be in writing and shall be made available for collection by the Seller and the Purchaser at the offices of the Reporting Accountants and shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser) include reasons for each relevant determination; |
(e) | the Reporting Accountants shall act as experts (and not as arbitrators) in making their determination and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser save in the event of manifest error (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be resubmitted to the Reporting Accountants by either party for correction as soon as reasonably practicable); |
(f) | the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction; and |
(g) | the charges and expenses (including VAT) of the Reporting Accountants shall be borne as they shall direct at the time they make any determination pursuant to paragraph 2.3(e) or, failing such direction, equally between the Purchaser and the Seller. |
1.4. | Any determination of the Reporting Accountants under paragraph 2.3(e) above shall be deemed to be incorporated into the relevant management accounts and/or the calculation of the Purchase Price which, as adjusted by the alterations so determined by the Reporting Accountants (if any), shall become the Agreed management accounts and the Agreed element of the Purchase Price respectively and be final and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser. |
1.5. | Nothing in this paragraph 2 shall entitle a party or the Reporting Accountants access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional privilege, or which has been prepared by the other party or its accountants and other professional advisers with a view to assessing the merits of any claim or argument, provided that a party shall not be entitled by reason of this paragraph 2.5 to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based. |
1.6. | Each party shall, and shall procure that its accountants and other advisers shall, and shall instruct the Reporting Accountants to, keep all information and documents provided to them pursuant to this paragraph 2 confidential and shall not use them for any purpose, except for disclosure or use in connection with the proceedings of the Reporting Accountants or any other matter arising out of this Agreement or in defending any claim or argument or alleged claim or argument relating to this Agreement or its subject matter. |
