Document background
The Stock Subscription Agreement is a fundamental document used in Dutch corporate transactions when a company issues new shares to investors. It is essential for both private and public companies seeking to raise capital, document investment terms, and ensure compliance with Dutch corporate law requirements. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions about the share subscription process, payment terms, representations and warranties, and closing conditions. It must comply with the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and, where applicable, the Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht). The document is particularly important in investment rounds, corporate restructurings, and strategic partnerships where new shares are being issued. For listed companies, additional regulatory requirements may apply.
