Working Capital Peg
Definition
A target level of net working capital agreed between buyer and seller in an acquisition, used as the basis for post-closing purchase price adjustments. The working capital peg ensures the buyer receives a business with a normalised level of operating liquidity, with adjustments made if actual working capital at closing is above or below the agreed amount.
