📜 What is a Shareholders Agreement?
A Shareholders Agreement is a critical document for companies with more than one shareholder. It governs how the company is managed, how shares are issued or transferred, how decisions are made, and what happens in case of disputes or exits.
It generally includes:
✅ Shareholding structure and capital contributions
✅ Voting rights and quorum requirements
✅ Board composition and management powers
✅ Dividend distribution policy
✅ Transfer/restriction of shares (tag-along, drag-along, ROFR clauses)
✅ Exit options (buyouts, IPO, liquidation, etc.)
✅ Dispute resolution mechanism
📜 How to Use a Shareholders Agreement?
✅ Sign the agreement when forming the company or when new shareholders join
✅ Ensure it’s signed by all shareholders and stored in the company records
✅ Submit it to investors or financial institutions as required
✅ Refer to it in case of disagreements or when making critical decisions
📌 Pro Tip:
Never rely solely on your company’s Articles of Association for internal governance. A Shareholders Agreement provides stronger clarity and enforceability for sensitive business and ownership matters.
