garanzie

Italian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Articles of Association
Context:

La Notifica di Vendita dovrà includere copia dell'accordo con il (o lettera di offerta o manifestazione di interesse del) Proponente Acquirente.

In this context, how would the term in question be translated? I have seen many different options, but honestly I don't understand the difference: surety, guarantee, security...
I would appreciate any advice from colleagues with more experience than I in this field.
Thanks in advance

guarantees

Here information is being given by the seller to the co-seller about the buyer: "forma giuridica, nazionalità, ammontare e distribuzione del capitale so­ ciale, sede sociale e soggetto controllante,".
This information includes "il corrispettivo, i termini di pagamento, le garanzie ed ogni altra condizione, anche accessoria".
In this context "garanzie" must be guarantees that the buyer has the funds to pay and will pay. Often a buyer of a company will take out bank loans to fund the purchase. The seller will need some guarantee that the bank or banks will make the loans. Often payment is not cash on the nail but is deferred. This is common with "earnouts" where extra amounts are paid by the buyer in future years if the company purchased makes profits. The seller will need guarantees from buyer that it will be able to make these payments. The guarantees may be secured with collateral or unsecured. They may be simply involve disclosure of loan agreements showing the ability to pay.

warranties

A warranty in a contractual agreement (such as a share purchase agreement for example) is a statement or assurance given by the seller to the buyer that a certain state of affairs exist. I think this is perhaps what is being referred to here.
Peer comment(s):

neutral James (Jim) Davis : A warranty would be given by a seller to a buyer, not to a co-seller.
