Document background
The Stock Subscription Agreement is a crucial document used in Hong Kong when a company issues new shares to investors. It is particularly relevant for private companies seeking equity investment, whether for startup funding, growth capital, or strategic investment. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's Companies Ordinance and Securities and Futures Ordinance, incorporating necessary provisions for share issuance, payment mechanisms, and regulatory compliance. The document typically includes detailed terms about the subscription price, number of shares, completion conditions, representations and warranties, and post-completion obligations. It serves as the primary transaction document for equity investments and may need to be coordinated with other corporate documents such as shareholders' agreements and articles of association.
