Document background
The Shareholder Subscription Agreement is a fundamental document used when a company issues new shares to investors or existing shareholders. This agreement is particularly crucial in the Dutch legal context, where strict corporate law requirements govern share issuance procedures. It is commonly used in funding rounds, corporate restructurings, or employee participation schemes, and must comply with the Dutch Civil Code and other relevant legislation. The document typically includes detailed provisions on share pricing, payment terms, conditions precedent, warranties, and completion mechanics. It requires careful consideration of Dutch corporate law requirements, including mandatory involvement of a civil law notary for the execution of the deed of issue, and often interfaces with other corporate documentation such as shareholders' agreements and articles of association.
