The Legal Risk Score of a Share Buyback Agreement Template is High

Our legal team have marked this document as high risk considering:

  • There is a possibility that the Shareholder might not have clear and unencumbered ownership of the shares, which could lead to legal complications after the transaction is completed.
  • The document does not explicitly outline the consequences or remedies if either party fails to fulfill their obligations, leaving potential breaches of the agreement less manageable.
  • If section 257B of the Corporations Act is not followed, it can create liability for the company.

Users familiar with share buyback processes may find this document suitable, but should remain cautious about the potential for unaddressed issues.
