A Stock Repurchase Agreement is used when a Dutch company wishes to buy back its own shares from existing shareholders, whether for capital structure optimization, excess cash utilization, or employee share scheme management. The document must comply with strict requirements under Dutch law, particularly Articles 2:98 and 2:98a of the Dutch Civil Code for NVs (public companies) or Articles 2:207 and 2:207a for BVs (private companies), which set limits on share repurchases and specify conditions for their execution. The agreement includes detailed provisions on share valuation, payment mechanisms, and necessary corporate approvals, while ensuring compliance with capital maintenance rules and, for listed companies, market abuse regulations.
