What is a Shareholder Agreement?

A shareholder agreement is an agreement between the shareholders of a company which set out the terms of their business relationship and how dividends are managed and paid out. The agreement may include provisions about the ownership, purchase, sale and transfer of shares, and other crucial contractual matters between shareholders.

Shareholder agreements should also have critical clauses about what happens to the shares if a shareholder dies.
