Stock purchases refer to buying shares of the selling business. Asset deals occur when the buyer acquires the target company's operating assets. The seller retains complete business ownership following an asset transaction, and no business ownership is transferred to the buyer.

Asset transaction means any transaction or related series of transactions whereby the Issuer transfers certain of its assets to ReGen AG through a sale, capital contribution or otherwise.
