💸 Off-market share purchase

This legal template primarily covers the process and procedures for a private company to carry out an off-market share buyback under UK law. An off-market share buyback refers to the company's repurchase of its own shares from its existing shareholders, which may be different from the normal trading on a stock exchange.

The template is relevant for private companies incorporated in the United Kingdom and provides a written resolution format that can be adopted by the company's directors or shareholders to authorize and execute the buyback process.

The document typically includes the identification of the shareholders willing to sell their shares, the terms and conditions set forth for the buyback, and the specific mechanisms and procedures to be followed. It may also address relevant legal requirements, such as compliance with Companies Act 2006 and other regulations governing share buybacks.

This template acts as a guide to ensure that the company adheres to legal obligations and protects the interests of both the company and its shareholders throughout the buyback process. It ensures transparency and clarity in the decision-making process, and helps mitigate any potential disputes or legal issues that may arise during the buyback transaction.
