SHAREHOLDERSAGREEMENT股东协议

SHAREHOLDERSAGREEMENT（股东协议）

要点

股东协议约定股东之间的协议和权利，包括优先认购权、优先购买权、共售权、信息/检查权、限制转股、保护性条款、拖售权、合格IPO及注册权等。

如集团公司/创始人对于所有股东的承诺，可考虑不在股份购买协议中约定而在股东协议中约定（因为除本轮投资人外，另几轮投资人也为股东协议的签署方）。

美国市场中股东协议通常拆分为投资人权利协议（investor’srightsagreement）、投票协议（votingagreement）、优先购买权/共售权协议（ROFRandco-saleagreement）。
