What is a bring-down certificate?

A bring-down certificate is a closing document used to confirm that representations and warranties made earlier in a transaction agreement remain true and correct as of a later date, usually the closing date. It is commonly delivered by an authorized officer or representative and is often tied to a closing condition in M&A, financing, or other business transactions.

Why do you need a bring-down certificate?

You need a bring-down certificate when the parties want updated written confirmation that the facts supporting the deal have not materially changed between signing and closing. It helps support closing conditions, gives the receiving party more confidence in the transaction, and reduces the risk of closing based on outdated or inaccurate representations.

When should you use a bring-down certificate?

Use a bring-down certificate when there is a gap between signing and closing, when the agreement requires representations and warranties to be true again at closing, or when the transaction has multiple closings or extended approval periods. It is especially useful in acquisitions, financings, and other deals where the parties want a clear closing-date confirmation from the certifying party.

How to write a bring-down certificate?

Start by identifying the agreement, the certifying party, and the closing date. Then state that the relevant representations and warranties remain true and correct as of that date, except for any statements that speak only as of an earlier date or any disclosed exceptions. If needed, also confirm compliance with covenants, the absence of material adverse changes or defaults, and include the signature of an authorized officer with title and date.

Can AI Lawyer help if buyers, sellers, and counsel all need to review?

AI Lawyer can help by organizing the certificate into clear sections so each reviewer can quickly find the referenced agreement, the reaffirmed statements, any carveouts, and the signing details. It can also add placeholders for transaction names, section references, exception disclosures, and officer titles, making revisions easier to track. A consistent structure helps reduce repeated edits and lowers the chance of missing key closing details before the certificate is signed and delivered.
