The Equity Split Agreement is essential when establishing or restructuring company ownership, particularly in startup environments or when bringing in new partners. This document outlines precise ownership percentages, vesting conditions, and transfer restrictions while ensuring compliance with U.S. securities laws. Common scenarios for implementing an Equity Split Agreement include company formation, adding co-founders, compensating early employees with equity, or bringing in new investors. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting ownership terms and conditions.
