SALE OF SHARES AGREEMENT
In part, to an existing shareholder
Summary
A written agreement to sell shares can be used when a shareholder sells some of the shares that they own in a Company to a purchaser, where the purchaser is already an existing shareholder of the Company. A Sale of Shares Agreement includes reference to the purchase price and confidentiality, amongst other provisions. The Agreement caters for more than one Shareholder selling portion of their shares, if applicable.
