Shareholder Agreement with Put Option | Canada

A Shareholder Agreement protects the interests of a corporation's shareholders and minimizes the risks of share ownership. This Canadian template contains a buy-sell or "put" option.

  • This is a Canadian legal form which can be used anywhere in Canada except Quebec.
  • The Shareholder Agreement establishes the obligations of the shareholders and the corporation to each other, and sets out any restrictions on share transfers or the issue of new shares.
  • The remaining shareholders have a right of first refusal to acquire the shares of a departing shareholder, before the shares can be offered to a third party.
  • A departing shareholder also has a buy-sell or 'put' option, which would require the remaining shareholders to purchase his/her shares. The put option is available only after the departing shareholder has been unsuccessful in finding a third party purchaser for a period of 6 months.
  • The template contains buy-sell options for both an assured buy-out and a mandatory or 'shotgun' buy-sell.
  • If a shareholder dies, the surviving shareholders have the option to buy the deceased shareholder's shares, failing which they must be purchased by the corporation.
  • The Shareholder Agreement can serve to avoid unnecessary conflict by having the owners agree on management issues and exit strategies at the outset.
