Document background
The Private Placement Agreement serves as the primary legal framework for companies seeking to raise capital through private securities offerings in the Netherlands. This document is particularly useful for companies that wish to avoid the more stringent requirements and costs associated with public offerings while still maintaining compliance with Dutch and EU regulations. The agreement typically comes into play when companies are looking to raise capital from a limited number of sophisticated investors, often in growth phases or for specific project financing. It must comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and includes detailed provisions on investor qualifications, subscription procedures, and regulatory compliance. The document is essential for ensuring that the private placement meets all legal requirements while protecting both the issuer's and investors' interests under Dutch law.
