Earnout Deal Structures

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

2 years ago

Can anyone recommend a resource to understand standard earnout deal structures?  I have no experience there.  I'm interested in knowing things like (1) typical % of revenue (2) standard term (years) (3) cap (max amount paid to seller) vs. no cap (4) any other variables I haven't thought of.

Thanks!
