Shotgun Buy-Sell Provisions for Shareholder Agreement

Prepare a Shotgun Buy-Sell Provision for a shareholder agreement with this ready-made template.

The shotgun provision gives a shareholder the right to offer to purchase the shares held by the other shareholders at a specified price. If they do not accept the offer, the offering party must sell its shareholdings to the remaining shareholders.

These buy-sell provisions set out:

• the procedure to be followed by a shareholder when making an offer to purchase the other shareholders' interests,
• the terms on which any offer to purchase or offer to sell must be made,
• the rights and remedies available to the non-defaulting party upon default by either the purchaser or the seller.
