The 2023 SRS Acquiom Deal Terms Study shows that most deal parties continue to utilize indemnification escrows.
In fact 93% of deals that closed in 2022 included at least one escrow or hold back and over half had two or more.
We often get asked about escrow trends including sizes, and what the data shows is that when you aggregate escrow amounts on private m&a deals, the median is holding steady at 10% of transaction value, and even deals that use reps and warranties insurance that median figure is two and a half percent of the transaction value, which could be five times the amount that deal parties might expect.
