Our lawyers have handled all legal work of the transaction, including structure of the M&A transactions, legal due diligence, negotiation of transferring documents (CSPA, Escrow Account Agreement…), fulfillment of conditions precedent and update of documentation recording the transfer at the State Securities Commission (SSC) and the Hanoi Department of Planning and Investment (DPI). The process has extended over a year, with significant efforts from ENT Law’s legal team. As of now, approvals have been obtained from Bank Negara (Malaysia’s Central Bank), the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), and the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC).

The M&A transaction has been gone smoothly, resulting in maximum benefits as well as creating win-win situation for both client and its counter-party.
