A Cross Purchase Agreement is essential for businesses operating under English and Welsh law that wish to maintain control over their ownership structure and ensure smooth transition of shares between shareholders. This document becomes particularly crucial when shareholders want to prevent shares from being transferred to unknown third parties or when they need a clear framework for share transfers upon significant events. The agreement typically details the purchase obligations, valuation methods, funding mechanisms, and procedural requirements for share transfers. It's commonly used alongside shareholders' agreements and articles of association to provide comprehensive protection for both the business and its shareholders.
