Document background
The Share Transfer Form is a crucial document in Dutch corporate transactions, used whenever ownership of shares needs to be transferred between parties. This document is particularly important in the Netherlands where, for private limited companies (BVs), share transfers must typically be executed through a notarial deed. The form captures essential details including the identity of the transferor and transferee, specific share information (number, class, nominal value), consideration paid, and any relevant conditions or restrictions. It must comply with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and consider company-specific requirements from the articles of association. The document serves as official evidence of the transfer and is required for updating the company's share register and, where applicable, the trade register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.
