What do I need to know about the shareholders' agreement?
We recommend a shareholders’ agreement as soon as a company limited by shares has more than one shareholder. Already from the time of formation/acquisition of shares.
Transfer and encumbrance restrictions, including purchase and pre-emption rights, co-sale obligations, and rights, control, and significant decisions/veto rights concerning the Board of Directors and General Meeting, non-competition clauses, and information rights and obligations.
Clear regulation of the relationship between the shareholders. The rights of minority shareholders are often strengthened by a shareholders’ agreement.
Every shareholder can do what they want with their shares (e.g. sell or pledge them). No clarity about the consequences of certain developments (e.g. death of a shareholder, exit from the company limited by shares, etc.)
The shareholders’ agreement always takes precedence between the parties.
We generally recommend drafting a shareholders’ agreement in writing and only amending it in writing. An amendment requires unanimity, unless the shareholders’ agreement contains a corresponding amendment clause.
These must sign the shareholders’ agreement (e.g. by means of a written declaration of accession).
