Shareholders Agreement Templates are often used in three situations:
1. Where a business is being conducted through a company but it is in essence a quasi partnership. In this case there are normally two or more shareholders all of whom work in the business, want a say in the management by being on the board and need to be protected against some majority decisions e.g. Change of business, sale of business, declaration of dividends, mortgaging the assets, changing the structure of the business, giving guarantees etc.;
2. Shareholders Agreement Templates are used where two or more existing companies which conduct their own businesses enter into a joint venture for a particular purpose and they will use a company as the vehicle to conduct the joint venture. An example could be where a supplier and a distributor are both needed for the purposes of entering into a contract for a large project. They may set up a joint venture company to enter into the contract. They will want a shareholders agreement to set out their respective rights, obligations and responsibilities;
It is expressly provided in this agreement that the rights and obligations set out are in addition to all rights and obligations contained in the constitution of the company and in the Corporations Act 2001 (cth).

1. Interpretations and Definitions,
