Document background
The Shareholder Investment Agreement is a crucial document used when new investors are investing capital into a company in exchange for shares. It serves as the primary contract governing the relationship between investors, existing shareholders, and the company under Singapore law. This agreement is particularly important in private equity, venture capital, and angel investment scenarios, where it protects all parties' interests by clearly defining investment terms, shareholder rights, governance structures, and exit mechanisms. The document must comply with Singapore's Companies Act and related regulations, making it suitable for both local and international investment transactions in Singapore-incorporated companies.
