Document background
The Company Ownership Agreement is a fundamental document used when establishing or modifying the ownership structure of an Austrian company. It becomes particularly relevant during company formation, ownership transfers, or when implementing new shareholder arrangements. This agreement must comply with Austrian corporate law, including the UGB, GmbH-Gesetz, and relevant EU regulations. It typically addresses critical aspects such as share ownership, transfer restrictions, voting rights, profit sharing, and management participation. The document serves as a crucial reference point for preventing and resolving ownership disputes while providing a clear framework for corporate governance. It should be tailored to the specific needs of the company while ensuring alignment with Austrian legal requirements and business practices.
