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.
Why do I need a written sale of shares agreement?
A written Sale of Shares Agreement sets out the terms of the sale of a shareholder’s shares in a Company to another shareholder. A number of issues need to be negotiated during a Company’s sale of equity, such as the purchase price, confidentiality and warranties. These issues need to be included in a written contract to sell shares, to eliminate uncertainty and ensure that both the sellers and the purchaser understand their respective rights and obligations during the sale.
What does the agreement say?
The template contract consists of: Parties; Definitions; Sale of shares; Purchase price and payment; Delivery of documents; Warranties; Indemnities; Breach; Confidentiality; Dispute Resolution; Pre-emptive rights; Notices; General.
Note: if the entity is a close corporation, a Sale of Member’s Interest Agreement will be required.
What does the contract look like?
The template sale of shares contract can be printed onto eight pages.
What do you need to do to use the Sale of Shares Agreement?
