Document background
The Shareholder Subscription Agreement is a crucial document used in Austrian corporate transactions when a company issues new shares to investors. It serves as the primary legal instrument documenting the terms and conditions of share subscription, ensuring compliance with Austrian corporate law requirements, particularly the Aktiengesetz (Stock Corporation Act) and Unternehmensgesetzbuch (Commercial Code). This agreement is typically used in capital raising rounds, employee share schemes, or strategic investments, detailing critical aspects such as share price, payment terms, representations and warranties, and completion mechanics. It must be carefully drafted to account for both mandatory Austrian legal requirements and the specific commercial arrangements between the parties.
