The Share Transfer Agreement is a crucial document used when transferring ownership of shares in a Qatar-registered company. It is essential for both private and public company transactions, though different rules apply to each. The agreement must strictly comply with Qatar's legal framework, particularly the Commercial Companies Law No. 11 of 2015 and the Foreign Investment Law No. 1 of 2019. It typically includes detailed provisions about the shares being transferred, purchase price, payment mechanisms, warranties, and various conditions that must be satisfied for the transfer to complete. The document is particularly important as it serves as evidence of the transaction for Qatar's Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and may be required for updating the commercial register. When foreign investors are involved, additional provisions addressing foreign ownership restrictions and required approvals must be included.
