ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND FEES

Success Fee

Engagement Agreement

Retainer Fee

For selected mandates, the success fee may be ten percent (10%) of the gross transaction value or such other percentage as may be agreed in writing. The success fee may cover ZMA, PAiC and approved cointroducers, subject to the relevant engagement agreement, NCNDA/IMFPA and transaction structure.

The Oil & Gas Trade Facilitation Engagement Agreement establishes the formal relationship between the client, PAiC and ZMA. It defines the scope of services, condition precedents, client representations, compliance expectations, fees, commission protection, sanctions compliance, cost recovery, indemnity, limitation of liability, term, termination and dispute-resolution framework.

For selected mandates, the agreed monthly retainer fee may be USD 10,000, payable in advance within the agreed period upon invoice issuance. The retainer may cover compliance review, structuring advisory, sanctions screening, risk analysis, documentation review and transaction supervision. Retainer terms are subject to the final engagement agreement.

How Engagement Begins

Cost Recovery

Engagement begins when a qualified party submits an opportunity or request through PAiC. PAiC will conduct initial commercial screening and determine whether the opportunity is suitable for further review. If suitable, the party may be required to execute an engagement agreement, NDA, NCNDA/IMFPA or other relevant documentation before deeper review proceeds.

Where intermediaries are involved, commission protection should be addressed through proper NCNDA/IMFPA documentation. PAG does not support hidden commission arrangements, unverifiable introducer chains or structures that expose legitimate parties to non-circumvention disputes.

Commission Protection

Where deliberate misrepresentation, forged documentation, false allocation, fabricated bank instruments or material concealment are identified, the responsible party may be required to compensate ZMA for due diligence costs, without prejudice to additional legal remedies where applicable.
