Shareholders Agreement

What is a shareholder?

A shareholder is someone who invests money into the company. In exchange for his money, he is given a certain number of shares in the company. These shares entitle him to become one of the owners of the company and empowers a shareholder with the right to vote on certain matters related to the company.

As a shareholder, a person is entitled to certain rights with respect to the company. Some of them are:-

  • Right to vote
  • Right to call for a General Meeting
  • Right to appoint directors
  • Right to appoint the company auditor
  • Right to copies of the financial statements of the company
  • Right to inspect the registers and books of the company

The reason behind the limited liability of the shareholders boils down to the fact that the company is a separate legal entity, hence separate from the shareholders.The liabilities of a shareholder are as follows:

  • Shareholders are not liable for the acts of the company
  • Shareholders are held liable only to the extent of the unpaid amount of share capital with regard to the share held by them
  • Where it is a company limited by guarantee, the shareholder is liable only to the extent of the amount guaranteed by him

What is a Shareholder’s Agreement?

A shareholder’s agreement is a contract between the company and its shareholders. It outlines the rights, obligations of the shareholders and provisions related to the management and the authorities of the company. The purpose of the agreement is to protect the interests of the shareholders; especially minority shareholders.

A shareholders’ agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines the regulations used to run a corporation. This agreement is used to protect the interests of each individual shareholder and establish a fair relationship within the company.

When a corporation is created and more than one person will be investing money into the company, a shareholders’ agreement is essential. This document should be drafted and signed right when a corporation is formed to avoid any issues or confusion when setting up the company.

In order for there to be smooth and free-flowing operations, there must be certain policies and procedures set in place. The Shareholders’ Agreement contains the guidelines with respect to how the company will be run on a day to day basis so as to ensure consistent and uninhibited workflow.
