Indicative offer, also known as a non-binding offer, is a document that outlines the initial terms of a potential deal between a buyer and seller. It's a non-binding, preliminary proposal that's often used to start negotiations and reduce the number of interested parties.
An indicative offer can include:
An approximate price range
Whether the buyer will pay in cash or shares
A timetable for the transaction
A calendar with the steps needed to close the deal
The proposed stake to be purchased in the company
The purpose of an indicative offer is to:
Clarify the key terms of a negotiation
Announce that two parties are negotiating
Safeguard the negotiations
Document the buyer's interest in the transaction
Allow the seller to assess the interests of potential buyers
An indicative offer is often made at the beginning of the M&A process, after the exchange of initial information on the target company.
