The Nominee Shareholder Agreement is a crucial document used in Nigerian corporate structuring when shares need to be held by a nominee on behalf of a beneficial owner. This arrangement may be necessary for various reasons, including local ownership requirements, corporate privacy, or strategic business purposes. The agreement must comply with Nigerian legislation, particularly the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020, Investment and Securities Act 2007, and anti-money laundering regulations. The document comprehensively addresses key aspects such as the nominee's duties, beneficial owner's rights, voting arrangements, dividend handling, compliance obligations, and termination procedures. It's particularly important in sectors where ownership structures require careful consideration of regulatory requirements and business objectives.
