Corporate & Title

State registration documents, articles of association (charter), founding documents, participant register, share title history, and powers of attorney. Verification of encumbrances through the Uzbek state registries. Confirmation of absence of state pre-emption rights over the target’s shares or assets.

Regulatory Licences & SEZ Status

Verification of all licences and permits required for the target’s activities — including SEZ or free economic zone residency status, manufacturing licences, pharmaceutical licences, and financial services licences. Assessment of compliance with SEZ operating conditions and risk of SEZ status revocation.

Privatisation History

Where the target was previously a state-owned enterprise, Bond Stone reviews the privatisation history — confirming the lawfulness of the original privatisation, absence of restitution claims, and compliance with post-privatisation investment obligations that may remain binding on the acquirer.

Material Contracts & Litigation

Review of key commercial agreements and search of Uzbek economic court databases for pending and concluded litigation. Assessment of contingent liabilities and change of control provisions. Uzbek economic courts have mandatory jurisdiction over certain corporate disputes — Bond Stone identifies these risks at the outset of every due diligence mandate.
