The Equity Participation Agreement serves as the primary legal framework for equity investments in Danish companies, whether for venture capital, private equity, or strategic corporate investments. It is essential when an investor seeks to acquire a minority or majority stake in a company while establishing clear rights and obligations under Danish law. The document typically includes detailed provisions on share valuation, transfer restrictions, governance rights, and investor protections, ensuring compliance with the Danish Companies Act and related regulations. This agreement is particularly crucial for structuring investments in private companies, defining shareholder relationships, and setting out mechanisms for future exits or additional investment rounds. The document must be carefully drafted to align with Danish corporate governance requirements and market standards while protecting all parties' interests.
