Document background
The Investment Agreement under Dutch law serves as the primary transaction document for equity investments in Dutch companies or Dutch-governed transactions. This agreement is typically used when investors are acquiring shares in a company, whether through a new issue of shares or purchase from existing shareholders. It establishes the framework for the investment relationship, incorporating specific requirements of Dutch corporate and securities laws, while addressing key commercial terms such as valuation, governance rights, and exit provisions. The document is crucial for both domestic Dutch investments and cross-border transactions where Dutch law is chosen as the governing law, ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
