The Stock Transfer Contract is a crucial legal instrument used in Belgian corporate transactions to formalize the sale and purchase of company shares. This document is essential when transferring ownership of shares in Belgian companies, whether they are private limited companies (BV/SRL) or public limited companies (NV/SA). It must comply with the Belgian Companies and Associations Code and related financial regulations. The contract typically includes detailed provisions on share valuation, payment mechanisms, warranties about share ownership, and specific closing conditions. It's particularly important for maintaining proper corporate governance and ensuring legal certainty in ownership transfers, while also addressing tax implications and regulatory requirements specific to the Belgian jurisdiction.
