Document background
The Stock Investment Agreement is a critical legal document used when an investor seeks to acquire shares in a company under Swiss jurisdiction. It serves as the primary contract governing equity investments, whether for minority stakes or controlling interests. The agreement must comply with Swiss corporate law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and financial market regulations. It is essential for documenting the terms of investment, protecting both investor and company interests, and ensuring regulatory compliance. The document typically comes into play during funding rounds, strategic investments, or when companies seek growth capital. It includes detailed provisions on share valuation, transfer restrictions, investor rights, and corporate governance matters, all structured within the Swiss legal framework.
