• The principal contractual document is a subscription and shareholders agreement (often referred to as an investment agreement). This often takes the form of a single document but it may be split into two separate documents, a subscription agreement and a shareholders’ or investors’ rights agreement. [If using separate documents, please use the guidance notes specifically relating to those documents.] The investors’ solicitors usually prepare the first draft of this agreement.
