Document background
The Equity Funding Agreement is a crucial document used when a company raises capital through the issuance of shares to investors in Hong Kong. It serves as the primary transaction document that governs the relationship between the company and its investors, detailing everything from the mechanics of the investment to ongoing rights and obligations. This agreement must comply with Hong Kong's legal framework, particularly the Companies Ordinance and Securities and Futures Ordinance, and typically includes provisions for corporate governance, share rights, transfer restrictions, and investor protections. It's commonly used in various funding rounds, from early-stage investments to later-stage financing, and can be adapted to accommodate different investment structures while maintaining compliance with Hong Kong regulatory requirements.
