Frequently Asked Questions

This covenant is a legal document that ensures a new shareholder agrees to adhere to the terms of an existing Shareholders Agreement. It protects the interests of current shareholders and clarifies the obligations of the new shareholder.

Typically, the new shareholder receiving the transferred shares must sign this form. Additionally, the existing shareholder transferring the shares may also need to acknowledge their release from obligations.

This form is designed for use in all Canadian provinces except Quebec. It is important to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations when using this form.

If the new shareholder does not sign the covenant, they may not be legally bound by the existing Shareholders Agreement, potentially leading to disputes or conflicts with current shareholders.

While the form can be modified to suit specific needs, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that any changes comply with applicable laws and do not invalidate the agreement.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are acquiring shares in a corporation will need this form to ensure they are legally bound by the existing Shareholders Agreement. This protects the interests of current shareholders and maintains the integrity of the corporate governance structure.
  • Situations requiring the transfer of shares often necessitate a formal agreement to avoid disputes among shareholders. This form provides a clear framework for new shareholders to understand their obligations and rights under the existing agreement.
  • For those looking to sell their shares, this document is essential to release the transferring shareholder from future obligations. It ensures that the new shareholder is fully informed and agrees to the terms set forth in the Shareholders Agreement.
  • Corporations undergoing changes in ownership may find this form crucial for maintaining compliance with internal policies. It serves as a safeguard to ensure that all shareholders are aware of and agree to the existing terms governing their relationship.
  • In the context of corporate restructuring, this form can facilitate smoother transitions by clearly delineating the responsibilities of new shareholders. It helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that all parties are aligned with the Shareholders Agreement.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the Shareholders Agreement does not require new shareholders to be bound by its terms. In such cases, a different type of agreement may be necessary.
  • – If the transferring shareholder retains some shares in the corporation, this form may not adequately address their ongoing obligations. A more comprehensive agreement would be required to cover their continued involvement.
  • – In situations where the corporation is undergoing bankruptcy or liquidation, this form may not be suitable as the legal context changes significantly. Legal advice should be sought in such circumstances.
  • – If the new shareholder is a minor or lacks legal capacity, this form cannot be used without additional legal documentation. It is essential to ensure that all parties involved have the legal authority to enter into the agreement.
  • – This form should not be used in jurisdictions outside of Canada or in provinces where specific regulations differ from those outlined in the form.
