Shareholders' Deed

The Shareholders’ Deed is for use between two or more shareholders and the company in accordance with Australian law and includes the following clauses:

  • shares;
  • appointment and removal of directors; 
  • meetings and resolutions of directors; 
  • decisions requiring a special director vote;
  • budget and business plan;
  • working capital;
  • management of the company; 
  • provision of information; 
  • confidentiality and publicity; 
  • disposal of shares; 
  • pre-emption rights on further share issue;
  • events of default; 
  • dispute resolution; and
  • general.




There are potentially other provisions which you may want to include in your Shareholders’ Deed which are not included in the template because complex legal issues are associated with the provisions and the circumstances of shareholding arrangements vary significantly.  Such additional provisions include:

  • non-compete restraints;
  • 'tag along’ and ‘drag along’ rights;
  • detailed valuation provisions;
  • exit strategies for IPOs or trade sales.

If you wish to include any of these provisions, you can proceed with the purchase of the online contract template but should obtain additional advice from Pym's Technology Lawyers as required.  

If you are wanting to purchase the entire share capital of a business, you should look instead at the Share Purchase Agreement.
