Shareholders Agreement
A shareholders Agreement (Shareholders Agreement) is general contract that attempts to regulate the rights and obligations of Shareholders or in the context of their ownership of securities in a company. The company itself may also be a party to the Shareholders Agreement.
Shareholders Agreement (General) is not compulsory like the Replaceable Rules or a Constitution as required by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act). On incorporation, or on obtaining an investor, many companies choose to regulate the rights and obligations of Members in addition to regulating various aspects of the management of the Company by preparing a General Shareholders Agreement
