In Korean M&A transactions involving foreign PE funds, uncertainty often arises regarding the identification of the beneficial owners under the capital gains tax (CGT) rules and which deal parties bear the risk. This is where TLI steps in.

This way, no party bears the risk and indemnities and holdbacks can be avoided.
