shareholder agreement
Investor rights document
A shareholder agreement is a contract among the owners of a company that governs their relationships and rights.
It typically addresses voting procedures, share transfer restrictions, dividend policies, and dispute resolution: The shareholder agreement gives existing investors first right of refusal on any sale.
Unlike corporate bylaws, which are public, shareholder agreements remain private between the parties.
