SITUATION In a sponsor doing confirmatory after a tight auction, customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses is the evidence after a CIM that omitted a material litigation. Integration-risk PMO has to pick Proceed or Reprice for this M&A Due Diligence Earnings and Revenue Quality close using customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses.

DECISION Integration-risk PMO in a sponsor doing confirmatory after a tight auction must choose Proceed / Reprice / Walk / Hold using customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses after a CIM that omitted a material litigation.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Proceed now; customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses already has the discriminator after a CIM that omitted a material litigation. 2. Keep Reprice in force until customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses is completed after a CIM that omitted a material litigation for integration-risk PMO. 3. Treat customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses as Walk because both readings appear after a CIM that omitted a material litigation. 4. Refuse a M&A Due Diligence close: integration-risk PMO does not have the decision related-party sales should be turns on in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Name the document integration-risk PMO still needs before signing. 2. Test whether a CIM that omitted a material litigation is a diligence gap, a price chip, or a walk-away. 3. Separate a one-off add-back from a recurring earnings issue in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses. 4. For this M&A Due Diligence Earnings and Revenue Quality file, read customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses against a CIM that omitted a material litigation and write the one fact that would move related-party sales should be for integration-risk PMO.

If customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses cannot force a M&A Due Diligence label under Earnings and Revenue Quality, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a sponsor doing confirmatory after a tight auction does not have.
