You can create a Share Purchase Agreement by completing LawDepot’s questionnaire. Using our template will help ensure you complete the following necessary steps.
Provide the names and addresses of the shares’ seller and purchaser in your Share Purchase Agreement.
2. Outline the shares’ details
Outline important information about the company and the shares for sale. These details should include:
- Company name
- Company location
- Number of shares for sale
- Class/series of the shares
Sometimes a company will have multiple classes (also known as series) of shares. Each class provides shareholders with a different set of voting rights in a company’s decision-making process.
A Share Purchase Agreement must include the company’s location because Australia’s states and territories have unique laws and regulations. LawDepot’s template will tailor your document to meet these requirements.
3. State the payment details
State the price of the shares, the agreement’s closing date, and whether or not the seller requires a deposit.
The closing date is when the purchaser pays the outstanding balance and gains possession of the purchased shares.
A deposit is a portion of the total cost that the purchaser uses as collateral until the transaction is complete. If the agreement requires a deposit, include the date the purchaser must provide it to the seller.
4. Outline any additional clauses
Additional clauses are any terms and conditions you would like to include that aren’t already covered in your Share Purchase Agreement (e.g. warranties).
5. Provide the signing details
State when the seller and purchaser will sign the agreement and if there will be witnesses present.
A witness should be a neutral third party with no financial or other interest in the agreement. They don’t need to know or understand the contents of the agreement. Ideally, a witness will also sign the document immediately after observing the seller and purchaser sign it.
