Standstill Agreement

KShs 16,000.00

A standstill agreement is a contractual arrangement used in various financial and corporate contexts to maintain the status quo for a specified period. In mergers and acquisitions, it prevents a potential acquirer from purchasing additional shares or launching a hostile takeover without the target company’s consent. This allows the target company to control the negotiation process and protect its interests. For example, in 2017, Glencore plc and Bunge Ltd. entered into a standstill agreement to prevent Glencore from making a formal bid for Bunge until a later date.

Additional information

In the banking sector, a standstill agreement can be used between a lender and a distressed borrower. It temporarily halts the repayment schedule, giving the borrower time to restructure their liabilities and avoid bankruptcy. This approach can help the lender recover a portion of the outstanding debt, which might be lost in a foreclosure.
Overall, standstill agreements are strategic tools that provide breathing room for companies and borrowers under pressure, allowing them to navigate complex financial situations more effectively. They are essential in managing corporate takeovers and financial distress, ensuring that all parties have the opportunity to reach a mutually beneficial resolution.
