## Post-Merger Integration under Georgian Law

Post-merger integration is an international consulting label, but its Georgian legal content is concrete: the mechanisms of the Civil Code govern the transfer of obligations after closing, the migration of encumbered assets and the unwinding of redundant long-term contracts. This page carries the post-closing contractual-continuity layer and is distinct from sibling pages on pre-signing structuring and on debt-transfer details. At the same time, the merger procedure itself is governed by the Entrepreneurs Law, which the page only names — here the civil-law integration mechanics are central; integration has no separate Georgian statute.

### How is a debt transferred?

By assumption — a contract with the claim holder; the debtor retains the right to object.

### What happens to pledged assets?

Encumbered ownership passes to the acquirer; the registry update is joint.

### How is a contract unwound?

For a compelling reason; upon breach — after fruitless expiry of the cure period or a warning.

### Does integration have a separate statute?

No — the legal content is filled by the Civil Code.

### What to verify before a debt transfer?

The register of claims, the pledge securing them, and the debtor’s consent.
