What is a Shareholders' Agreement?
A Shareholders' Agreement is a contract between the owners of a company that defines their roles, rights and obligations as company shareholders. Shareholders’ Agreements supplement a private limited company’s articles of association and help set out how the company is to be run. For more information, read Shareholders’ agreements.
Use this Shareholders' Agreement:
- when you and other individuals are shareholders in a private limited company that has ordinary sharesonly
- to supplement the company's Articles of association (ie articles) with provisions relating to shareholders' powers and entitlements
- to keep these additional provisions confidential, in a private contract
- to make it easier to change provisions in the future without having to amend the company’s articles
