Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration
Acquisition consideration payable only if specified future contractual conditions are satisfied.
How to read it
Check amounts, triggers, deadlines, payment timing and enforcement. Some deals use contingent value rights (CVRs); examine development-effort obligations where relevant.
A common pitfall
A maximum payout is neither guaranteed cash nor its present value. Not all contingent payments are structured as CVRs.
