A Shareholders Agreement is not a static document. It should be regularly reviewed to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness…… The review should consider changes in the company's circumstances. This could include changes in the company's ownership structure, strategic direction or financial situation.

"Pre-Emption clause" in a Shareholders Agreement - what is it? Let's understand. A Pre-Emption clause offers important protection to the existing shareholders of the company. This clause gives existing shareholders the first right to buy new shares before they are offered to outsiders, ensuring that their ownership percentage is not diluted when the company issues new shares. Consider this: You’ve built your business, invested time, effort, and money, and now the company needs to raise capital. A pre-emption clause ensures that your hard-earned share of the business doesn’t get diluted without your consent or a fair chance to maintain your ownership percentage. Why is this so important? For a few reasons. 1. It allows the shareholders to maintain their level of control and influence in the company.    2. By offering shares to existing shareholders first, the company avoids bringing in an outside investor. 3. It ensures that shareholders can protect their investment and maintain their stake in the company. If you’re negotiating a shareholders’ agreement, make sure a pre-emption clause is part of the conversation to protect your interests. In the next post, we’ll discuss the difference between Pre-emption Clause and Right of FIrst Refusal (ROFR). Stay tuned, and follow me for more such content.  #PreEmption #shareholdersagreement #investor #lawyer
