The Redeemable Preference Share Agreement is a crucial document in South African corporate finance, used when companies seek to raise capital without diluting existing ordinary shareholders' voting rights or when implementing structured finance solutions. It's particularly relevant for companies looking to secure medium to long-term financing with predetermined dividend rates and redemption terms.
