A simplified, short form agreement (SPA) for the sale and purchase of the entire issued share capital of a private limited company, involving a single target company and a simultaneous exchange and completion.

As this document is a simplified, short form agreement, it does not incorporate the full range of buyer-protection provisions that are generally included in a longer form SPA. This document should therefore be read in conjunction with the integrated drafting notes and reference should also be made to the Practical Law long form SPAs as appropriate.
