Document background
The Equity Financing Agreement is a crucial document used when a company seeks to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities in Switzerland. This agreement is particularly relevant for growing companies, startups, and established businesses seeking additional capital for expansion. The document must comply with Swiss corporate law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and financial market regulations. It typically outlines the investment terms, share classes, valuation, investor rights, governance structures, and various protections for both investors and existing shareholders. The agreement is essential for documenting the relationship between the company and its investors, setting clear expectations and obligations for all parties involved, and ensuring compliance with Swiss regulatory requirements.
