A jurisdiction-neutral standard form confidentiality agreement (also known as a non-disclosure agreement or NDA) for use in connection with a proposed sale of the entire issued share capital (or equivalent equity interest) or the business and assets of a company incorporated and registered outside the UK, where both the buyer and seller are companies. This document is in the form of an agreement rather than a letter.

This document has been adapted from Standard Document, Confidentiality agreement: corporate seller: acquisitions and Standard Document, Confidentiality letter: corporate seller: acquisitions to provide a plain English, UK-style jurisdiction neutral starting point for local counsel to adapt in cross-border transactions.

For a form of confidentiality agreement to use in connection with cross-border asset and business acquisitions, see Standard Document, Confidentiality Agreement (UK Style, Asset Purchases) (Jurisdiction Neutral).
