    Drafting Stockholder Agreements - Part 2

    • Speakers

    Thank you

    Thank you for joining us today.

    Description

    Stockholders' agreements can make or break a closely held company.

    Voting control is allocated, distribution policies established, buy-sell mechanisms defined, and the relationship of the owners organized. Most of the big decisions of a closely held company are made in the stockholders' agreement. In the context of S Corporations, these agreements take on even more importance in the form of various restrictions to ensure the corporation does not lose its pass-through status for federal income tax purposes.

    This program provides a guide to planning and drafting the most essential provisions of stockholders' agreements for C and S corporations.

    Part 2 topics include:

    • Restrictions on transferability and mechanisms to buy/sell restricted stock
    • Valuation methodologies for stock that does not have a liquid market
    • Protective provisions for S Corps – preventing transfers to ineligible holders
    • Provisions for approving the termination an S Corp election
    • Close corporations and the ability to govern the company without a board of directors
