Key shareholders’ agreement

A shareholders’ agreement is a contract designed to regulate and structure relations between shareholders. It also sets out their rights and obligations vis-à-vis the company. We offer two types of shareholder agreement: the essential shareholder agreement and the customized shareholder agreement. These contracts enable you to decide on the consequences arising from the occurrence of various events likely to cause deadlock situations (departure of a shareholder, death of a shareholder, sale/transfer of shares, etc.) and thereby protect your company’s interests and business continuity in the event of conflict.

We offer two types of shareholder agreement: the key shareholders’ agreement and the customized shareholders’ agreement. These contracts enable you to decide on the consequences arising from the occurrence of various events likely to cause deadlock situations (departure of a shareholder, death of a shareholder, sale/transfer of shares, etc.) and thereby protect your company’s interests and business continuity in the event of conflict.   

 

Our essential action agreement contains :

  • Clauses relating to shares: value and payment of shares, issue and transfer of shares, right of first offer clauses between shareholders, priority share issue clause, etc. ;
  • Clauses regulating shareholder decision-making, in particular the appointment of directors;
  • clauses governing the departure of a shareholder: situations involving the withdrawal of a shareholder from the company’s business, or the bankruptcy of a shareholder, or the permanent disability or death of a shareholder; and
  • Clauses providing a framework for your commitments: confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and transfer of intellectual property. These clauses can also extend beyond the departure of a shareholder.
 

This agreement is suitable for young companies wishing to establish clear guidelines between shareholders from the outset, defining rights and duties on an equal footing, as well as restrictions such as non-competition and management of intellectual property, enabling serene and coherent management to be maintained.  

 

What’s included :

  • An equal shareholders’ agreement in digital format generated by our technology and including the essential clauses;
  • Electronic signature of the agreement ;
  • Validation of the agreement by a lawyer; and
  • Customer service support.
 

 

Not included:

  • Customized provisions in the shareholder agreement (vesting clause, shotgun clause and other specific non-essential clauses);
  • A shareholders’ agreement including different rights and obligations between shareholders, particularly in the case of majority/minority shareholders; and
  • A shareholders’ agreement adapted for a stock option plan.
 

 

This agreement may prove inadequate for more complex shareholding structures, or in cases where the rights or involvement between shareholders are not identical. In such circumstances, a customized shareholder agreement would be appropriate.

A key shareholders’ agreement is not an administrative afterthought; it’s the cornerstone of a balanced collaboration between equal founders and shareholders. It sets a solid foundation for transparent and fair governance.
