Document background
The Share Issue Agreement is a crucial document used in Belgian corporate transactions when a company seeks to increase its share capital by issuing new shares to existing or new shareholders. This document is essential for compliance with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations and must be executed in accordance with Belgian corporate law requirements. It is typically used in scenarios such as capital raising, employee share schemes, or strategic investments. The agreement contains detailed provisions about the share issue, including corporate approvals, payment terms, representations and warranties, and completion mechanics. Given the formal requirements of Belgian law, the document often requires notarial intervention and must be accompanied by supporting corporate documentation such as shareholders' resolutions and updated articles of association.
