With so much focus on retirement plans, like 401(k) plans, in a corporate transaction, health and welfare plans often are overlooked or not addressed completely. If the seller retains ownership of the company in an asset sale, it’s likely it will continue to retain responsibility for the benefit plans. In a stock sale, the buyer typically acquires the seller’s benefit plans (unless they are terminated, pre-closing). The purchase agreement should set forth comprehensive employee benefit plan representations and warranties. Address whether the seller’s employee benefit plans are to be terminated, when this is to occur, the party that is responsible for COBRA healthcare continuation coverage, handling of incurred and unreported health claims, and more.
