Document background
The Investment And Shareholders Agreement is a crucial document used when new investors are entering a company or when existing shareholders are restructuring their relationships under Philippine law. It serves as the primary document governing both the investment transaction and ongoing shareholder relations, ensuring compliance with the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines, Securities Regulation Code, and other relevant legislation. The agreement typically covers investment terms, share rights, corporate governance, minority protections, and exit provisions, while addressing specific Philippine regulatory requirements such as foreign ownership restrictions and SEC compliance. This document is particularly important in private equity investments, venture capital transactions, and strategic corporate investments, providing a framework for both the initial investment and long-term shareholder collaboration.
