Document background
The Co-Investment Agreement is a crucial document used when multiple investors wish to participate in a joint investment opportunity while clearly defining their rights and obligations. This agreement, governed by Irish law, is commonly used in private equity, venture capital, and other investment scenarios where parties seek to pool their resources while maintaining certain controls and protections. The document typically includes provisions for investment amounts, completion mechanics, governance rights, transfer restrictions, tag-along and drag-along rights, and exit provisions. It ensures compliance with Irish regulatory requirements, including the Companies Act 2014, Investment Limited Partnerships Act 1994, and relevant financial services regulations. The agreement is particularly important for structuring investments in a way that balances the interests of all co-investors while providing clear mechanisms for decision-making and eventual exit strategies.
