Frequently Asked Questions
When should a shareholder agreement be signed?
Ideally, a shareholder agreement should be executed at the time of incorporation or prior to the issuance of equity to new shareholders.
What is redomiciliation or continuation of a company?
Redomiciliation (also known as continuation) is the process by which a company transfers its place of incorporation from one jurisdiction to another, without undergoing liquidation or affecting its legal identity
Are shareholder agreements confidential?
Yes. Shareholder agreements are private documents and are not typically lodged with the corporate registry, in contrast to the articles of association.
Is a shareholder agreement legally binding?
Yes. A shareholder agreement constitutes a legally enforceable contract among the signatory shareholders.
What is a solvent liquidation?
A solvent liquidation, also known as a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), is the formal process of voluntarily winding up a company that is able to satisfy all its debts in full within a specified period, typically within 12 months.
