Deminor helps shareholders to secure their position and ensure the continuity of the company by recording the necessary agreements in a shareholders’ agreement.
A shareholders’ agreement is a contract between the shareholders of a company in which specific agreements about a number of important matters can be mutually established, in order to prevent conflicts and ambiguities. These agreements are completely confidential and focused on the specific context of the company, contrary to the law and the articles of association of the company.
A shareholders’ agreement defines the internal relations and control structures in the company, increasing the involvement of the shareholders and giving all parties a clear understanding of the rules of the game for the future.
Here, non-active shareholders must also have sufficient knowledge to support the company in the long term. In family businesses, the internal relationships are usually defined in the form of a family charter.
A shareholders’ agreement can be concluded around the most diverse subjects. Common themes in shareholder agreements are the transfer of shares, the distribution of profits, the organisation of the board and the handling of conflicts. A checklist of frequently asked questions on these topics can serve as a starting point:
