A Share Mortgage Agreement is a crucial security document used in Australian financial and corporate transactions where shares are provided as collateral for financial obligations. This agreement is commonly used in corporate lending, acquisition financing, and other commercial arrangements where security over shares is required. The document must comply with Australian federal legislation, particularly the Corporations Act 2001 and Personal Property Securities Act 2009, as well as relevant state laws. It includes detailed provisions regarding the creation and perfection of security interests, enforcement mechanisms, and regulatory compliance requirements. The agreement is essential for both lenders seeking security and borrowers offering their shareholdings as collateral, and it must be carefully structured to ensure enforceability and protection of all parties' interests under Australian law.
