The Company Agreement is a crucial document required when establishing or restructuring a company in Malta. This agreement, governed by Maltese law, particularly the Companies Act (Cap. 386), serves as the cornerstone document defining the relationship between shareholders and establishing the company's governance framework. It is typically used when forming new companies, admitting new shareholders, or updating existing corporate governance structures. The document encompasses essential elements such as share rights, transfer restrictions, management provisions, and shareholder protections, while ensuring compliance with both local Maltese regulations and applicable EU directives. The Company Agreement is particularly important in Malta's growing business sector, where it provides legal certainty and clear operational guidelines for both local and international investors.
