Contract Interpretation Regarding Purchase Price Adjustment Valuation
Suisse · Canton de Genève (CH-GE)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose regarding the interpretation of a contract provision concerning the valuation method for certain financial instruments, specifically involving a purchase price adjustment based on market conditions and the application of a specified discount rate derived from an external financial index, where the parties disagreed on the applicable measurement date and the precise formula for calculating the adjustment. The court reasoned that the contract language, read in its entirety and considering industry standards reflected in related clauses, unambiguously mandated the use of the index value as of the closing date and the application of the stated discount formula, thereby rejecting the alternative interpretation which favored a later valuation date and a different calculation method, leading to the affirmation of the lower tribunal's determination based on this textual interpretation.
