Therefore, this agreement aims to ensure that no new shareholders` pacts are required every time a new shareholder arrives. By signing a membership deed alone, they may be registered as shareholders of the company and will be subject to the same rules as those applicable to existing shareholders. If this agreement is reached, it will be part of the shareholders` pact. Therefore, a violation of an act of membership may be considered a violation of the shareholders` pact. Therefore, all corrective measures provided by the shareholders` pact in the event of a violation of its clauses will come into force in the event of non-compliance with an agreement. A compromise clause is present in most shareholder agreements and stipulates that if a clause of the agreement is violated or when a dispute arises with respect to the terms of the agreement, the matter is settled by arbitration. The clause must indicate the method of arbitration. In addition, any other form of dispute resolution, such as mediation or negotiation, may also be mentioned in the agreement. The agreement may also mention that all disputes arising from the agreement fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of a particular jurisdiction. This agreement is necessary when a new shareholder joins a particular company. Instead of creating a new shareholder pact each time a new shareholder enters the company, the new shareholder can simply sign a membership model of a major shareholder.
The signature binds the shareholder to the provisions of the original shareholder pact. The reason it is prepared as an act and not as an agreement is to ensure that it is enforceable. Indeed, contrary to an agreement, one act requires no consideration on the part of the other party. The deed must contain a clause stipulating that the new shareholder agrees to be bound by all obligations arising from the existing shareholders` pact. Indeed, it should be noted that all existing shareholders and the company have the right to enforce the shareholders` pact against the new shareholder. First, the new shareholder may have to review the shareholders` pact to ensure that it is indeed prepared to be bound by the terms of this shareholders` pact. If she has any doubts, she may have to seek legal advice. In addition, the shareholders` pact may set out certain rules to be followed in the event of an incoming and/or outgoing shareholder. For example, some shareholder agreements require that any shareholder wishing to leave the company first offer its shares for sale to other shareholders before putting them up for sale outside.
