Net Working Capital Adjustment Sample Clauses
A Net Working Capital Adjustment clause defines how the purchase price in a transaction will be modified based on the difference between the estimated and actual net working capital at closing. Typically, the buyer and seller agree on a target net working capital amount, and after closing, the actual net working capital is calculated; if it is higher or lower than the target, the purchase price is adjusted accordingly. This clause ensures that both parties are treated fairly by accounting for fluctuations in short-term assets and liabilities, preventing either side from being disadvantaged by unexpected changes in the company's financial position at the time of sale.
