Identify and explain the rationale for choosing the main elements of the structure including the proposed acquisition vehicle, post closing organization, form of payment, form of acquisition, and tax structure.

The main elements of the structure include the proposed acquisition vehicle, post closing organization, form of payment, form of acquisition and tax structure. The proposed acquisition vehicle will depend on the type and size of transaction being undertaken – for example a larger deal would typically involve forming a new company or an existing entity such as an LLC to act as the parent company in order to facilitate any necessary capital raising activities.

The post-closing organization should consider any potential corporate governance issues and identify who will have ultimate control over day-to-day operations and decision making within the new business. It is also important to agree upon how profits or losses will be shared between shareholders.

The form of payment should take into account both parties’ preferences as well as legal requirements which may dictate how much cash needs to be paid upfront compared to deferred payments that are contingent upon performance targets being met in future periods.

When selecting a form of acquisition it is important to explore options such as asset sales versus stock purchases along with their associated tax implications so that parties can decide which one best meets their immediate needs while also taking into consideration long term objectives.

Finally, when determining the tax structure it is essential to understand relevant local laws or regulations pertaining to income taxes, capital gains taxes etc., in order ensure maximum compliance whilst still optimizing deductions available under existing rules governing taxation policies.
