Shares/Stock purchase agreement (SPA) are agreements entered when one party is interested to buy the shares of another company.
A share represents a unit of ownership in the company and the number of shares held by the shareholder represents its stake in the company.
Being a shareholder of a company provides your several rights under company law such as.
What rights are available to a shareholder of a company?
- Shareholders have a right to bring legal action against the director when any act done by him in any manner is prejudicial against the affairs of the company.
- Shareholders also have the right to attend and vote at the annual general body meeting.
- Shareholders also have a right to appoint the company auditors.
- Shareholders have the right to call a general meeting. They have a right to direct the director of a company to call an extraordinary general meeting.
- Shareholders have the right to get copies of financial statements. The company must send the financial statements of the company to all its shareholders.
- Before the company is wound up the company has to inform all the shareholders about the same.
- When a company is converted into another company then it requires prior approval of shareholders.
- Right to inspect the corporate books and records of the Company.
- All shareholders shall have the right to receive dividends.
Just like Companies Act in India, every country has its own set of commercial law which will determine the nature of rights that a shareholder would have in its respective country.
