Bus/Financial / Accounting/banking
Spanish term or phrase: reserva de precio
This term appears in a proposal for auditing services from an accounting firm to a Uruguayan bank that was considering acquiring another bank. One of the accounting firm's objectives would be:

"Determinación y cuantificación de los pasivos contingentes o de sus entornos, o de otros elementos a incluir en una posible garantía o ***reserva de precio*** a otorgar por el vendedor."

I'm also curious about the term "entornos" in the same sentence.

Explanation:
"entorno" is our usual word for range. Younger generations use "rango", copying the English.

So it would be the amount of the contingent liabilities or their range.

As for reserve price, this refers to a down-payment/advance payment on the purchase price. Maybe once the decision is made to purchase the bank, prior to a due dilligence or any other procedure, they must make a deposit in a escrow account or something like that.

price reservation / or their attachments (entornos)


Explanation:
i.e., "contingent liabilities or their attachments" (any liens, for ex.?)

I'm sure about a seller having price reservations, but not sure about the motives - is this subject, for instance, to some intermediate settlement in case the guarantee exceeds the amount required?
