Practical Guide: Main Differences between Share Deals and Asset Deals in Hong Kong

In many situations of an M&A deal, the purchaser and the seller can have conflicting interests as regards whether to structure the transaction as a sale of shares of the targeted business or as a sale of the business itself.  Generally, purchasers prefer asset deals whereas sellers prefer share deals.  However, each M&A transaction is unique, and the choice of the structure is always agreed to on a case by case basis.

Read our guide on Legalmondo which highlights the main differences between the two structures.  We provide an overview of the main features of share deal or asset deal structures, a summary of the processes to either transfer shares or assets, and the principal transfer taxes relating thereto.
