The Company Share Purchase Agreement is a fundamental document used in corporate acquisitions and sales transactions in Denmark. It is primarily utilized when one party wishes to acquire ownership of a company through the purchase of its shares from existing shareholders. The agreement must comply with Danish legal requirements, particularly the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven) and the Danish Contracts Act (Aftaleloven). This document serves multiple purposes: it defines the terms of the transaction, allocates risk between parties, provides protection mechanisms for both buyer and seller, and ensures regulatory compliance. The agreement typically results from extensive negotiations and due diligence, incorporating detailed warranties, indemnities, and specific provisions addressing tax, employment, and corporate governance matters. It's essential for both private and public company acquisitions, though the complexity and specific provisions may vary depending on the size and nature of the transaction.
