The Stock Buyback Agreement is a crucial document used when a company decides to repurchase its own shares from existing shareholders, a common corporate action for capital management, share price support, or excess cash utilization. Under Danish law, such agreements must comply with specific requirements of the Companies Act (Selskabsloven), particularly sections 196-201 regarding acquisition of own shares. The document becomes necessary when a company has obtained necessary corporate approvals and wishes to formalize the share repurchase transaction. It includes detailed provisions on purchase price, transfer mechanics, warranties, and regulatory compliance. For listed companies, additional considerations include EU Market Abuse Regulations and Nasdaq Copenhagen rules. The agreement serves as both a legal record of the transaction and a compliance tool, ensuring the share buyback meets all regulatory requirements while protecting both the company's and shareholders' interests.
