Earnout Payments Clause Samples

The Earnout Payments clause defines the terms under which additional payments may be made to the seller after the closing of a business transaction, contingent on the business achieving certain financial or operational targets. Typically, this clause outlines the specific metrics (such as revenue or EBITDA) that must be met, the time period over which performance is measured, and the calculation and timing of any resulting payments. Its core function is to bridge valuation gaps between buyer and seller by tying a portion of the purchase price to the future performance of the acquired business, thereby aligning incentives and managing risk.
