Wait-and-See Buy-Sell Agreement

A wait-and-see buy-sell agreement is similar to a cross-purchase buy-sell agreement, except that it has more flexibility. With this method of a buy-sell agreement, the same sort of life insurance policies are purchased by each owner for every other owner of the company equal to their share of the organization. Wait-and-see refers to the options offered when an owner dies. Rather than a set distribution of the assets, the business entity and the individual owners have the choice whether to buy the newly available stake in the company. The price was set in the original agreement, and the company entity has the first choice to buy, and must buy any remaining stake if the individuals choose not to buy it.
