The Shareholder Transfer Agreement is a fundamental document used in Pakistani corporate transactions when one shareholder wishes to transfer their shareholding to another party. This document is essential for both private and public companies operating under Pakistani jurisdiction, particularly in compliance with the Companies Act 2017. It becomes necessary when shareholders decide to exit their investment, restructure ownership, or transfer shares for strategic purposes. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions about the transfer price, payment mechanisms, warranties about the shares and the company, tax implications, and necessary regulatory approvals. It serves as a crucial tool for documenting the transaction, ensuring legal compliance, and protecting all parties' interests. The document must align with Pakistani securities regulations, stamp duty requirements, and foreign exchange rules if international parties are involved.
