Identification
Names of the parties, legal entity identifiers, and contact details to precisely identify who is disclosing and who is receiving the disclosure.

Properly prepared disclosures aid internal governance, meet counterparty due diligence expectations, and reduce downstream disputes by setting shared expectations in writing.
