Document background
The Company Investment Agreement is a crucial document used in Swiss corporate transactions when an investor seeks to make a significant investment in a company. This agreement, governed by Swiss law, serves as the primary document establishing the relationship between the investor(s) and the target company. It typically follows extensive due diligence and preliminary negotiations, incorporating detailed terms about the investment structure, valuation, share classes, and investor protections. The document must comply with Swiss corporate law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and often includes provisions for both immediate investment terms and ongoing corporate governance matters. It's commonly used in venture capital, private equity, and strategic corporate investments, providing a framework for both the initial investment and future corporate operations.
