- Load the equity purchase agreement → material contract definition + schedule format.
- Use the following workflow.
- Apply the definition to the due diligence findings. Flag borderline cases.
- Format in accordance with the agreement. The consents overlay feeds into the closing checklist.
Matter context
Matter context. Check the practice-level CLAUDE.md for the ## 事项工作区. If Enabled is ✗(the default for in-house legal users), skip the rest of this paragraph—the skill uses practice-level context and the matter mechanism is not visible. If it is enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this? Run /corporate-legal:matter-workspace switch <事项简称> or say 实务级." Load the active matter's matter.md to obtain matter-specific context and override rules. Output is written to the matter folder ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/corporate-legal/matters/<事项简称>/. Never read files from other matters unless 跨事项上下文 is 开.
Purpose
The equity purchase agreement contains a representation and warranty: "Schedule 3.X lists all material contracts." This skill builds that schedule from the due diligence findings—which contracts are material contracts under the agreement's definition, presented in the format required by the agreement.
Load context
- Draft equity purchase agreement—used for the definition of "material contract" and the schedule format
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md→ Materiality thresholds (may differ from the agreement's definition—the agreement controls)diligence-issue-extractiondue diligence findings—contract-level data
Workflow
Step 1: Obtain the definition
Extract the definition of "material contract" from the equity purchase agreement—the acquisition agreement's definition controls. Deal structure differences (stock transfer vs. asset transfer vs. merger) change the interpretation of each trigger, and regulated-industry overlays (healthcare, defense, financial services, telecommunications, government procurement) may add consent requirements beyond the acquisition agreement. If the transaction involves any of the above overlays, retrieve the applicable antitrust law, foreign investment security review, and other rules and cite the controlling provisions [yuandian检索]。
The common categories of triggers in acquisition agreement definitions are as follows—these are not a substitute for reading the acquisition agreement; the list set out in the acquisition agreement controls:
- Monetary thresholds (annual or cumulative)
- Contract term
- Change-of-control or anti-assignment provisions
- Exclusivity or non-compete
- Top N customer or supplier contracts
- Real property leases
- Intellectual property licenses (inbound and outbound)
- Related-party agreements
- Government procurement contracts
- Contracts outside the ordinary course of business
Use the acquisition agreement's definition as the test. Apply it mechanically—any contract meeting any one condition in the acquisition agreement's definition is included in the schedule.
Step 2: Apply the definition to the findings
For each contract reviewed in due diligence:
| Contract | Conditions met | Included |
|---|---|---|
| [Name] | [Annual amount ≥ RMB X; contains change-of-control provision] | Yes |
| [Name] | [None] | No |
Boundary cases requiring human judgment must be flagged:
- Contract amount is just below the threshold (by 1 yuan), but is important to the company's operations
- Contract satisfies a condition but is in the process of being terminated
- Oral agreements or supplemental letters may or may not count
Step 3: Collect Schedule Data
For each contract included, the schedule typically requires:
| Field | Source |
|---|---|
| Counterparty name | Contract |
| Contract title/type | Contract |
| Date | Contract |
| Term/expiration date | Contract |
| Annual/total amount | Contract or management data |
| Which materiality condition is satisfied | Step 2 analysis |
| Whether the transaction requires counterparty consent | Diligence findings |
| Data room index | Diligence table of contents |
Obtain from existing diligence extracts. If any field is missing, flag it — do not speculate.
Step 4: Format According to the Agreement
The disclosure schedule has formatting requirements — typically a numbered list or table, sometimes itemized by contract type. Keep it consistent with the format of other schedules in the draft agreement.
## 清单 3.[X] — 重大合同
截至签署日,重大合同如下:
### (a) 客户合同
1. [协议标题],签署日期[日期],由[目标公司]与[对方当事人]之间订立。
[如格式要求附简述,则添加。]
[数据室:路径]
2. [...]
### (b) 供应商合同
[...]
### (c) 不动产
[...]
[等等——分项按协议的定义结构编排]
Step 5: Consent Tracking Overlay
Separately track (not in the schedule itself — this is for internal use) which included contracts require consent.
The consent overlay and any working drafts prior to delivery derive from privileged diligence materials and inherit their privileged and confidential status — distribution outside the privilege circle may waive privilege. The schedule itself, once delivered as an attachment to the signed acquisition agreement, is a transaction document and is not privileged; all internal annotations should be removed before delivery.
| Schedule No. | Counterparty | Whether consent is required | Status | Owner | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.X(a)(1) | [Name] | Yes — change of control §12.2 | Requested | [Name] | [Date] |
This item feeds into the closing checklist.
Cross-Check
Before delivery:
- Contracts satisfying any condition are included in the schedule (completeness)
- Contracts satisfying no condition are not included in the schedule (no over-disclosure — this is a representation and warranty, not a data dump)
- The schedule is consistent with the other representations and warranties (contracts creating security interests in Schedule 3.X should also be included in the security interest schedule)
- Each entry is accompanied by a data room index so that buyer's counsel can locate the original document
Handoff
- From diligence-issue-extraction: contract-level findings are the input.
- To closing-checklist: consent items are added to the checklist.
What This Skill Does Not Do
- Does not decide the definition of materiality — that is in the stock purchase agreement.
- Does not obtain consent — it tracks which ones need to be obtained.
- Does not draft representations and warranties — it populates the schedules referenced by the representations and warranties.
