Document background
The Share Allocation Agreement serves as the primary legal instrument for documenting and executing the allocation of shares in Swiss companies. This document is essential when companies need to issue new shares, transfer existing shares, or implement employee share schemes. The agreement must comply with Swiss corporate law requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and may need to address various regulatory considerations depending on the company's status (public or private) and the nature of the allocation. Typically used in contexts such as employee incentive programs, corporate restructuring, investment rounds, or strategic partnerships, the Share Allocation Agreement outlines all crucial aspects of the share transfer, including rights, obligations, conditions, and any restrictions on the allocated shares.
