The document identifies the parties involved and records the total price of the shareholding, the method of payment, and the date of the transaction. The contract also includes representations and warranties on behalf of both parties to the general effect that they are each legally capable of following through with the transaction.
1. Give details about the company and its shareholders
Select your jurisdiction and describe the industry that your company operates in. Then give the names and contact details of any relevant vendors (i.e., the shareholders that agree to sell their shares). You should also state the company’s name and address (i.e., the purchaser).
2. Describe the shares being sold
State how many shares are being sold and their class type.
3. Set the terms of the agreement
Set out payment details, including:
- The total purchase price
- The deposit amount (if applicable)
- The closing date
Next, consider which terms you’d like to include in the document. (Don’t worry, LawDepot’s template explains terms commonly included in a Share Repurchase Agreement.) For example, the company may release the vendor from their shareholder obligations once they sell their shares.
You can also use the Additional Clauses section of the template to write new clauses in your own words. On the other hand, if you’d like to remove clauses from the template, use LawDepot’s editor to make final changes to your document.
