Document background
The Stock Purchase Agreement Private Company is a fundamental transaction document used in Belgium for the acquisition of shares in privately-held companies. It is essential when transferring ownership of a private company's shares from one party to another, whether in full or partial acquisition scenarios. The agreement must comply with Belgian corporate law, particularly the Companies and Associations Code, and addresses crucial aspects such as share valuation, transfer mechanics, warranties, and indemnities. This document is typically used in private M&A transactions, corporate restructurings, or investment deals, and requires careful consideration of Belgian tax implications, employment laws, and regulatory requirements. The agreement serves as the cornerstone document that protects both buyers' and sellers' interests while ensuring legal compliance in the Belgian jurisdiction.
