Are earn-outs becoming more important in M&A transactions to bridge the valuation gap in the current economic climate? Are they effective tools to get deals closed or just risky creating potential future disputes?
The effectiveness of earn-outs largely depends on clear, well-defined terms and strong communication between the parties to minimize conflicts and ensure successful integration. In my experience the complexity of the earn-out deal could lead to the deal failure. Especially if the seller lacks experience or understanding of the earn-out structure, there may be a misalignment in expectations regarding how performance metrics are measured and how payments are calculated.
