Document background
The Company Investment Agreement is a crucial document used when an investor (whether corporate, institutional, or individual) seeks to make an equity investment in a company in Hong Kong. It serves as the primary instrument governing the investment relationship, detailing everything from the initial investment terms to ongoing rights and obligations of all parties. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's robust legal framework, particularly the Companies Ordinance and Securities and Futures Ordinance, while reflecting Hong Kong's status as a major financial center. This document is essential for both domestic and cross-border investments, incorporating necessary protections for investors while ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements. It typically includes detailed provisions on share subscription, shareholders' rights, corporate governance, exit mechanisms, and various protective covenants.
