The Minority Shareholder Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing or formalizing the rights and obligations of minority shareholders within a Danish company. It becomes particularly relevant in situations where investors or shareholders hold less than 50% of the company's shares and require additional protection beyond what's provided in the standard articles of association. The agreement typically addresses key aspects such as voting rights, board representation, information rights, and share transfer restrictions, all while ensuring compliance with Danish corporate law. This document is essential for private companies, startup investments, family businesses, and corporate restructurings where minority shareholder protection is paramount. The agreement must align with the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven) and other relevant Danish legislation, while providing clear mechanisms for dispute resolution and exit strategies.
