Shareholders' Agreement
(NV Corporation)

Summary

This Shareholders' Agreement (NV Corporation) template may be used by and among shareholders of a Nevada corporation to define rights and responsibilities of shareholders among themselves, or with the corporation if the contract imposes that obligation. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and an optional clause. Nevada corporations are usually governed by two constituent or charter documents: the articles of incorporation, which are filed with the Nevada Secretary of State; and the bylaws, which are not. Two or more shareholders in a Nevada corporation might also enter into a third document, a shareholders agreement, to further agree on issues such as corporate governance, stock transfer and encumbrance restrictions, protection of minority shareholders, and voting agreements for key corporate actions.
